 The field of wildlife endocrinology has been growing in need and scope. ISWE offers a network of leaders in the field to further scientific research.

Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission is to advance the field of wildlife endocrinology by promoting stronger inter-disciplinary collaboration among wildlife and conservation biologists to optimize animal health, reproduction, and welfare in support of global conservation efforts.

Our Vision is to provide an international forum that facilitates the exchange of information and development of collaborative wildlife endocrine studies. To help advance the use of non-invasive and minimally invasive sampling technologies and assist in the standardization of methods and analyses for the scientific study of wildlife physiology both in situ and ex situ.

The new Hotel Lincoln is a window to the most dynamic part of Chicago's North Side, Lincoln Park. Like the neighborhood, the hotel is historic yet fresh, fun though eccentric, active but relaxed. It’s where the energy of urban life meets 1,200 green acres and Lake Michigan. All of which makes the Lincoln that unique place where the rhythms of a great city can be felt, savored and adopted as your own. Lincoln Hotel is 0.1 miles from Lincoln Park Zoo.

Keynote Speakers for ISWE 2013 Conference
Dr. Samuel Wasser

Dr. Samuel Wasser

Integrating physiology and ecology to influence wildlife policy

Dr. Samuel Wasser is a Professor in the Department of Biology and Director of the Center for Conservation Biology at the University of Washington. After obtaining his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1981, Dr. Wasser received consecutive Career Development Awards from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Smithsonian Institution. In 2001, he was awarded the Endowed Chair in Conservation Biology by the University of Washington Board of Regents.
Dr. Wasser is acknowledged worldwide as a pioneer of non-invasive wildlife monitoring methods, including genetic, endocrine and detection dog techniques.  He participates in a number of conservation programs throughout Africa, the Americas, and SE Asia, often in collaboration with state, federal, and international organizations. His groundbreaking work in noninvasive environmental monitoring and wildlife forensic science is internationally respected among scientists, environmental activists, and government and non-government wildlife managers alike. This places Dr. Wasser in a unique position to negotiate the kinds of conservation solutions needed in our rapidly changing world.
Dr. Neena Schwartz

Dr. Neena Schwartz

Building a Lab of My Own

Neena B. Schwartz obtained her PhD in Physiology from Northwestern University in 1953. After teaching at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago and serving for 4 years as Director of the Biological Laboratories at Michael Reese Hospital Institute for Psychosomatic and Psychiatric Research and Training, Dr. Schwartz returned to the University of Illinois as Associate Professor of Physiology, rising to Professor of Physiology in 1967, and serving as Assistant Dean of Faculty Affairs for three years. In 1973, she moved to the Northwestern University Medical School and then to Northwestern’s College of Arts and Sciences, where she was named Deering Professor of Biological Sciences and served as Department Chair for four years.
Dr. Schwartz formed a Center for Reproductive Research in 1987, and directed it until 2003. Her research on hormones of reproduction was continually funded by the National Institutes of Health from 1968 to 2003. Her laboratory contributed a number of important papers on regulation of the female reproductive cycle, including the discovery of a new protein hormone from the ovary, inhibin. She served on several study sections at NIH and was on numerous national study boards and government advisory panels, including the National Research Council and the National Science Foundation. She has served on editorial boards and as a reviewer for the major endocrine journals and was named a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1992. She was the recipient of a number of Society Awards. Among these were the Williams Service Award of the Endocrine Society in 1985; Hartman Award of the Society for the Study of Reproduction in 1992; Lifetime Mentor Award of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2003. She was one of the founders (1971) of the Association of Women in Science, and was President of the Society for the Study of Reproduction in 1977-78 and of the Endocrine Society in 1982-83. She is the author of more than 200 research papers and reviews and recently published an autobiography, “A Lab of My Own”, (Rodopi Press, 2010).
