| 1955 | "In 1955, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Vincent du Vigneaud (Society member) "for his work on biochemically important sulphur compounds, especially for the first synthesis of a polypeptide hormone"."[1] | ||
| 1956 | "In 1956, Roitt and Doniach found that patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis had circulating autoantibodies reacting to thyroid self antigens. In the same year, Adams and Purves recognized that patients with Graves’ disease had a serum factor defined as long-acting thyroid stimulator (LATS), later found to be an immunoglobulin G binding to the TSH receptor. Also in 1956, Rose and Witebsky demonstrated that a lymphocytic thyroiditis similar to the spontaneous human disease can be induced in animals by immunization with autologous thyroid extracts in Freund adjuvant. This led to the general concept of autoimmune gland failure."[1] | ||
| 1956 | "Carl Djerassi developed the first oral progestin, norethindrone, at Syntex, SA Laboratories located in Mexico City, receiving a patent on 1 May 1956. The synthesis of norenindrone was a factor that lead to the development of oral contraceptives."[1] | ||

| 1958 | "In 1958, Elwood Jensen (Society President, 1980-1981) discovered the estrogen receptor, the first receptor found for any hormone. Using a radioactive marker, Jensen showed that only the tissues that respond to estrogen, such as those of the female reproductive tract, were able to concentrate injected estrogen from the blood. This specific uptake suggested that these cells must contain binding proteins, which he called “estrogen receptors.”"[1] | ||
| 1958 | "In 1958, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Frederick Sanger "for his work on the structure of proteins, especially that of insulin"."[1] | ||
| 1959 | "In 1959, the parathyroid hormone was first isolated and purified by H. Ramussen and L.C. Craig and its polypeptide structure defined by them in 1962. Initially researchers at this time used bovine parathyroid tissue in their investigations."[1] | ||
| 1959–1960 | "Rosalyn Yalow (Society President, 1978-1979) and Solomon Berson (Society member) developed a technique that uses radioactive materials to investigate the human body for small amounts of substances. In 1959, Yalow and Berson perfected their measurement technique and named it radioimmunoassay (RIA). RIA is extremely sensitive. It can measure one trillionth of a gram of material per milliliter of blood. Due to the small sample required for measurement, RIA quickly became a standard laboratory tool. Yalow later won the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her work."[1] | ||
| 1964 | "Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin’s was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964 "for her determinations by X-ray techniques of the structures of important biochemical substances". Hodgkin's most significant scientific contributions were the determination of the structures of penicillin, insulin, and vitamin B12. She was the third woman ever to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (following Marie Curie and Irène Joliot-Curie)."[1] | ||
| 1965 | Organization | The European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) is founded in Copenhagen.[25] | Denmark |
| 1966 | "In 1966, Charles B. Huggins was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for his discoveries concerning hormonal treatment of prostatic cancer". Dr. Huggins' research on prostate cancer changed the way scientists regarded the behavior of cancer cells and brought hope to the prospect of treating advanced cancers. Dr. Huggins also founded the renowned Ben May Laboratory for Cancer Research at the University of Chicago."[1] | ||
| 1969 | "In 1969, a group led by Roger Guillemin (Society President, 1986-1987) and another by Andrew V. Schally (Society member) announced that the hypothalamic substance that causes the anterior pituitary gland to release thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH) is L-pyroglutamyL-L-histidyl-L-prolineamide (L-pGlu-L-His-L-ProNH2). This tripeptide is now called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). "[1] | ||

| 1970 | "In 1970, Luis Leloir was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, "for his discovery of sugar nucleotides and their role in the biosynthesis of carbohydrates." Leloir was the director of the Institute for Biochemical Research, Buenos Aires, Argentina at the time of the award."[1] | ||
| 1971 | "Earl W. Sutherland, Jr. was awarded the Nobel Prize n Physiology or Medicine in 1971 for his discoveries concerning "the mechanisms of the action of hormones". Sutherland's discovery that the action of cyclic AMP was a biochemical, rather than a physiological demonstration of receptor activity, was one of the first times receptors were thought of in biochemical terms." | ||
| 1972-1978 | "From 1972- 1978 screening began for neonatal congenital hypothyroidism in the USA, Canada, England, Japan and some other countries. In most cases of congenital hypothyroidism, problems with the thyroid start in the womb. Because the gland is missing, incomplete, or in the wrong place, the body does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Missing or low levels of the hormone lead to abnormal growth and development, as well as slower intellectual functioning. Simply providing thyroid hormone at normal levels can prevent the effects and health problems of congenital hypothyroidism.

| 1977 | "The discovery led to an increased interest in the role of peptides in the nervous system. Guillemin and Schally each received one-quarter of the 1977 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. The other half the prize was awarded to Rosalyn Yalow (Society President, 1978-1979) for her contribution to the development of the radioimmune assay as a system for the detection of minute amounts of biological substances, including peptides."[1] | ||
| 1977 | "In 1977, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was divided, with one half jointly awarded to Roger Guillemin (Society President, 1986-1987) and Andrew V. Schally (Society member), "for their discoveries concerning the peptide hormone production of the brain" and the other half to Rosalyn Yalow (Society President, 1978-1979) "for the development of radioimmunoassays of peptide hormones"." | ||
