Gérard Karsenty is a professor and chair of the Genetics and Development Department at the Columbia University Medical Center where he studies the endocrinology of bone.
Professor Karsenty made the key discovery that bones produce endocrine hormones that are involved in other tissue development and homeostasis such as glucose metabolism.
In 2010 Karsenty won the Richard Lounsbery Award for his work on the molecular mechanisms that underlie the formation and the remodeling of bone. In 2016 he won the Roy O. Greep Laureate Award. Dr. Karsenty is also the winner of the 2016 Endocrine Society's Roy O. Greep Award for Outstanding Research for his discoveries on "biology of bone and how bone interacts with whole body physiology."
