Over Hedi Claahsen
As a pediatric endocrinologist, I specialized in the management of children/youth with endocrine disorders. Within endocrinology, as a physician and researcher, I further specialized in adrenal diseases and in particular congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) as well as in disorders/variations of sex development (DSD = Disorders/Differences of Sex Development) and transgender care. Together with my team, I set up the Radboud Center of Expertise on Sex & Gender (REGG) in which we see people with a variation in sex development and gender issues. I am coordinator of this expertise center. I am chair of the national working group on CAH and a member of the steering committee of the Radboud Adrenal Center that serves as an expertise center for diagnosis and treatment of adrenal diseases, both in children and also adults. I advocate cross-border cooperation with the German border region, so that care is also available nearby for chronically ill children with multiple disorders.
