Her pioneering research led to numerous publications and awards including the lead article in the New England Journal of Medicine, the most prestigious of all medical journals.

Her passions for hormones were not limited to her academic career. She married Joseph Weiss, a fellow physician and clinical professor.

They are the proud parents of three children who have followed their parent's philosophy of pursuing one's passions, no matter the field of endeavor.
