Sol Posen Research Award
This Award is named in honour of Professor 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 Paget’s disease, osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism and tumour-induced osteomalacia. He attended meetings and journal clubs, where his presence was marked, as ever, by his propensity to ask incisive questions.
