Roland Baron is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical
School in the Endocrine Unit at the Massachusetts General
Hospital and Professor and Chair of Oral Medicine, Infection
and Immunity at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, in
Boston, USA.
He also is Guest Professor at the Paris 7 Medical School,
INSERM Unit 606, Hôpital Lariboisière,

Roland was elected as President-elect at the 2007 ECTS
Annual General Meeting in Copenhagen. He took up office
as President at the 2008 Annual General Meeting in Barcelona
on 28 May 2008.
“I am extremely honored to have been first selected
by the Board of ECTS and then elected by the ECTS members
to this very important position. After great leaders
such as my predecessors Professors Stuart Ralston and
Richard Eastell, it is a very challenging role to assume.
I am firmly committed to maintain the Society on the
excellent course that Stuart and Richard have set and
to do my best to continue to build and expand ECTS'
premier role in expanding basic and clinical science
in Europe in the bone field."
The key issues for the Society that we will be focusing
on are:
- the quality of future meetings, coupled with a
totally transparent meetings policy;
- expanding the grant and fellowship programs to
allow young students and scientists a successful training
and early career in calcified tissue clinical and
basic research
- developing closer links with other European societies
with similar objectives to foster funding and policies
that would benefit patients, doctors and scientists.
