Pierre Marie was a French neurologist, who began his medical career in 1878 as an assistant to the famous neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) at the Salpêtrière and Bicêtre Hospitals in Paris. One of his earliest contributions was the description of a disorder of the pituitary gland known as acromegaly. His analysis of the disease was considered a pioneer contribution to a field of medicine later to be known as endocrinology. Wikipedia
