The Adele L. Boskey Award
The Adele L Boskey Esteemed Award for Bone and Mineral Research recognizes an ASBMR member for outstanding and major scientific contributions, leadership and mentorship in the area of bone and mineral research especially in the areas of mechanisms of mineralization, bone mineral, bone quality, and mechanobiology. The award includes a $2,000 USD honorarium and a plaque which is presented at a plenary session at the Annual Meeting.
Dr. Boskey was a pioneer and strong advocate for understanding the process by which mineralized tissues such as bone and teeth incorporate calcium and phosphate into their matrices, how the matrices are involved in that process, and the role of the biomineral in bone disease. To quote the New York Times and the Hospital for Special Surgery, she was a “trail-blazer” in understanding the mechanisms responsible for bone mineralization. She continuously applied new technologies revealing deeper insight into the mineral properties of the bone in musculoskeletal disease. Her characterization of the properties of the mineral compartment, the mechanisms of biomineralization and the crystal defects that related to the compromised quality of genetic and acquired bone disorders, were paradigm shifting discoveries.
Throughout her career devoted to unraveling the mechanisms responsible for biomineralization, Dr. Boskey’s passion was promoting the careers of young investigators, especially female investigators and the mentoring of clinician investigators. She is responsible for the successful careers of hundreds of investigators whose research programs are focused on the physiological mineral phase of tissues and pathological calcification.

The award includes a $2,000 honorarium and a plaque which is presented at a morning plenary session at the Annual Meeting.
Throughout his career, Gideon A. Rodan, MD — the ninth ASBMR President and the first recipient of the ASBMR Excellence in Mentorship Award (now named the Gideon A. Rodan Excellence in Mentorship Award) — was a major contributor to the field of bone cell biology. As a pioneer in this field, Dr. Rodan carried out early, seminal studies in bone cell characterization, signal transduction and cellular and molecular biology.
His outstanding scientific contributions include: isolation and characterization of the first transformed osteoblastic cell line (ROS 17), the dissection of the PTH signal transduction mechanisms, the concept of osteoblast-osteoclast interactions, the cloning of alkaline phosphatase, and the roles of steroids and prostaglandins in bone metabolism. As Director of the Department of Bone Biology and Osteoporosis Research at Merck, he fostered the development of the first bisphosphonate approved for treatment of osteoporosis and provided detailed studies of the mechanisms of action of the bisphosphonates.
Besides his distinguished scientific accomplishments, Dr. Rodan was a leader in service to the field, to the ASBMR, and to the education and training of young investigators.
