Constantine A. Stratakis, MD, D(med)Sci, PhD(hc)

Constantine A. Stratakis is recognized for his research, mentorship, and leadership and he remains an active clinician seeing patients with endocrine and genetic disorders. Over the last 25 years in his research, Dr. Stratakis has employed genome-wide tools to identify most of the genes known to predispose to adrenocortical tumor (ACT) and pituitary adenoma (PA) formation. His laboratory has identified the genetic defects for Carney complex, Carney Triad, the dyad of paragangliomas and gastric stromal sarcomas (a.k.a. Carney-Stratakis syndrome), and described new entities such as X-LAG (X-linked acrogigantism) and 3-PAs (the 3 Ps association of paragangliomas pheochromocytomas and PA). It was his identification of the protein kinase A (PKA) regulatory subunit type 1A (PRKAR1A) as the gene responsible for Carney complex in 2000 that led to the identification of the PRKACA gene as the most commonly mutated gene in all benign ACTs in 2014. Dr. Stratakis described novel genes, such as GPR101 in gigantism, and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) defects in a variety of tumors, and led the efforts to show that many gastric stromal sarcomas (GIST) form due to SDH deficiency. He is the author of more than 700 publications, his work has been cited >25,000 times, and he served in major Editorial roles, including Deputy Editor, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (2010-2015) and co-Editor, Hormone & Metabolic Research and Molecular & Cellular Endocrinology (2016/7-today). Dr. Stratakis received the 1999 Award for Excellence in Published Clinical Research and the 2009 Ernst Oppenheimer Award, both from the Endocrine Society, and the 2019 Dale Medal from the Society for Endocrinology and many other honors. He also has been named Visiting Professor in academic centers around the world and has received two honorary degrees from the Universities of Liege and Athens, respectively. As a mentor, Dr. Stratakis has trained more than 200 students, residents, pre-doctoral, post-doctoral and clinical fellows, and now nurtures the careers of junior faculty members and investigators. He has received numerous recognitions for his mentorship and teaching. Dr. Stratakis is widely recognized for his leadership, including in professional organizations. He just completed his year as the 2018-2019 President of the Society for Pediatric Research (SPR), and served as Scientific Director, NICHD, NIH (2009-20).
