In fulfillment of the ECTS mission to foster excellence in bone and musculoskeletal research, during the 2019 Congress in Budapest several major prices were awarded.

Roger Bouillon

Steven Boonen Clinical Research Award

This award is dedicated to Steven Boonen, a translational and clinical researcher with a focus on age-related skeletal fragility. The ECTS/Amgen Steven Boonen Clinical Research Award is given to physicians who have made significant progress and contribution to the field of clinical bone research. The 2019 awardee is Roger Bouillon (Leuven, Belgium), an outstanding basic, translational and clinical investigator; the major research topic of his scientific career is vitamin D.

 

 

Miep Helfrich

Mike Horton Basic/Translational Award

This award honors Mike Horton, a hematologist who performed pioneering work in osteoclast research. The award is given to individuals who have made a significant basic or translational contribution to the field of bone and calcified tissue. The recipient of the 2019 award is Miep Helfrich (Aberdeen, United Kingdom) who significantly advanced our knowledge of osteoclast biology and served as a role model for young scientists.
