Nathalie Mühlstein Josso (1934-2022) was a pediatric endocrinologist. She studied variations in genital development before birth, including intersex. She was the first to identify anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a hormone that is important in the development of male sex in fetuses by suppressing the development of female reproductive organs. Josso also later identified AMH in adult women, enabling the development of tests of ovarian reserve.
