Abstract Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute (EMRI) was founded in 1993. EMRI progressed step by step from inception and reached to its maturation during the past 25 years. EMRI has expanded and progressed in different aspects including human resources and infrastructures (laboratories and new technologies) and has obtained the first rank in the country in endocrinology research. It has also collaborated with regional and international organizations such as World Health Organization (WHO), International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), and American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE). This article provides an overview of EMRI activities during a quarter of a century. Keywords EMRI . Endocrinology . Metabolism . Diabetes
Introduction Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute (EMRI) was founded for the first time 26 years ago in1993 in a small room in Endocrine Ward at third floor of Dr. Shariati Hospital

as one of the five research centers founded in the country at that time and entitled as “Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Center” (EMRC). The research center was founded by four top Endocrinologists university staffs in the country. Eight to nine years earlier than establishment of EMRI (1984–1985), Endocrine ward of Dr. Shariati Hospital had been launched jointly with gastrointestinal ward with 9 to 11 beds and in the next years they increased to 22 to 24 beds (in 1995). Therefore, a primary background had been provided for research. Following an increase in the numbers of bed for patients with diabetes, patients with thyroid and hypothalamic disorders were admitted in the ward as well. After a few years, thyroid cancer registry was launched in endocrine department and this department became a referral center for Cushing Disease. Currently, endocrine ward w is working jointly with gastrointestinal ward and admits patients with different endocrine disorders. The purpose of this article is to review the activities of the Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute over a quarter of a century.
