It is with great sadness that the European Calcified Tissue Society – ECTS, announces the passing of Jean-Pierre David.

Jean-Pierre, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, was a biologist and expert of molecular medicine. He was recognized worldwide as a renowned expert in the field of AP-1 transcription factors and investigated how these molecules in the  cell influence the course of human diseases.

He played a key role in the development of the society and recently he was an active member of the Grants & Awards Committee and first co-chair of the Website Action Group.

Unfortunately, Jean Pierre recently passed away much too early after a short illness. We will very much miss his spirit and enthusiasm for science.

A new collaborative initiative aiming at:

• Increase ECTS’ footprint in clinical, translational and basic research in bone and mineral metabolism
• Provide a home to authors who want to publish quickly and in a respected journal
• Offer an Open Access possibility to (European) experts in the field

>> Send your articles to Bone Reports. 20% discount on the article publishing charge (APC) for ECTS members.

It is with great sadness that the European Calcified Tissue Society – ECTS, announces the passing of Prof Maria Luisa Bianchi, an esteemed clinician and researcher in the paediatric metabolic bone diseases and an inspiration to the bone community.  We send our sincere condolences to her family.

Maria Luisa was a kind and passionate person, gentle and very caring about her young patients.  She made enormous contribution to the field of rare bone diseases and actively contributed to the activities of ECTS being an active member since many years and chairing the Rare Bone Diseases Action Group.

Her dedication, gentleness, passion and courage will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
