This Award is named in honour of Sol Posen who was one of the pioneers in the field of bone and mineral endocrinology in this country. Sol Posen’s contributions span the range from basic biochemistry – his citation classic in Clinical Chemistry described the first means of distinguishing alkaline phosphatase of bone origin – to clinical studies in metabolic bone disease, including Pagets disease, osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism and tumour-induced osteomalacia. He continues to attend meetings and journal clubs, where his presence is marked, as ever, by his propensity to ask incisive questions.
