ISBM 2024 Awards
The ASBMR Hartmut H. Malluche Early Career Investigator Award
“Quantitative evaluation of the abnormalities of bone plays an increasingly important role, not only for research but also the development of new therapeutic agents and establishment of their effects. This is a goal worthy of pursuit that will require communication between bone laboratories and ongoing quality assurance by both junior and senior members of the field.”
-- Hartmut Malluche, M.D., ISBM Past President and Founder
Eligibility:
- Early career investigator: graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, clinical fellow, or early career instructor/assistant professor (no more than three years as faculty)
The Juliet Compston Travel Award for Clinical Research in Bone Morphometry
"Quantitative analysis of bone remodelling, modelling and structure is fundamental to our understanding of bone physiology and pathology. Application of bone histomorphometric analysis to human bone samples produces valuable insights into the pathophysiology of bone diseases and the mechanisms by which therapeutic agents act to reduce bone fragility. Sophisticated imaging techniques and methods to assess bone quality and strength provide valuable additional tools that add further to our understanding of these processes. The annual ISBM meeting provides a unique forum for clinicians and scientists to share and discuss recent advances in this rapidly evolving field.”
-- Juliet Compston, M.D., ISBM Past President
Eligibility:
- Practicing bone health clinician at the early- to mid-career stage
The Patricia and David Dempster Rising Star Award for Excellence in Bone Metabolism Research
“We firmly believe that more insight will be gained into the intra-, and extra-skeletal effects of bone metabolism in the next ten years than has been gained in the past four centuries.”
-- Patricia and David Dempster, Ph.D., ISBM Past President
Eligibility:
- Independent investigator at the early- to mid-career stage
The Webster S.S. Jee Travel Award for Research in Bone Histomorphometry
“Dr. Jee was a pioneer in bone histomorphometry, and as an inspirational mentor, instilled an enthusiasm for this important technique in graduate students, postdocs, and junior investigators who trained in his research lab at the University of Utah.”
-- Tom Wronski, PhD, Past ISBM President
Eligibility:
- Current ISBM full or in-training member
- Emerging or established leadership on research in bone histomorphometry, consistent with the legacy of Dr. Jee
