It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of member Arthur Broadus, M.D., Ph.D., on October 22, 2020. Dr. Broadus was the Ensign Professor of Medicine Emeritus at the Yale School of Medicine. His research led to the elucidation of the pathophysiology of malignancy-associated hypercalcemia and other disorders of calcium metabolism. He was the Chief of Endocrinology for 20 years and was a driving force behind the creation of The Anlyan Center, but his true passion was mentoring the next generation of scientists. He was a recipient of The Frederic C. Bartter Award from ASBMR in recognition of his outstanding clinical investigation for disorders of bone and mineral metabolism in 1989. He also served as Program Co-Chair for the ASBMR-IBMS Second Joint Meeting in 1998. Join us in recognizing Dr. Broadus’ contributions to our field by sharing a memory on the ASBMR website.
