Research Interests

Dr. Quinton is a clinician and researcher with a longstanding interest in genes and phenotypes in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. His observations have contributed to an appreciation of the plasticity of the GnRH axis. Genetically-based hypogonadotropic hypogonadism may remit/relapse and thus not always be permanent; functional/stress-related hypognadotropic hypogonadism may have a genetic component. GnRH neurons are present in the adult human olfactory mucosa and, if they could be induced to migrate, could potentially repopulate a depleted hypothalamic population. His investigative approach is patient-based, collaborative and multidisciplinary.

Clinical Expertise

His clinical practice covers the spectrum of endocrinology, including pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, gonadal, and metabolic bone disease. He has particular experience in the management of male hypogonadism.
