During the 51st Annual Meeting of the European Calcified Tissue Society, to be held in Marseille from 25 to 28 May, there will be a ceremony to award five distinguished scientists and three young investigators. This is an annual ceremony, since the European Calcified Tissue Society is highly committed in recognizing scientific excellence in the field of bone and mineral metabolism.
This year’s winners are:
- Katherine Staines (Iain T. Boyle award, for young scientists who have made significant progress and contribution to the field of bone and calcified tissue).
