Presenter: 
Dr. Cliff Rosen is a highly accomplished physician-scientist with an extensive background in endocrinology and bone biology. He earned his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry with honors from the University of Maine, followed by his medical doctorate from the State University of New York in Syracuse. He did his internship, internal medicine residency and chief residency at UMass Medical Center, in Worcester, Mass., and his fellowship in endocrinology at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.

Throughout his career, Dr. Rosen has been actively engaged in both translational and applied research. His primary focus lies in studying mesenchymal stem cell fate, specifically exploring the transition between pre-adipocytes and pre-osteoblasts. His laboratory has conducted significant research on lineage allocation, examining biochemical determinants and their alterations in conditions such as osteoporosis and obesity.

Dr. Rosen has played a pivotal role in overseeing large-scale randomized trials related to osteoporosis and obesity. He served as the president of the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research and has received continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health for over thirty years, initially at the Jackson Laboratory, in Bar Harbor, Maine, and later at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute – now MaineHealth Institute for Research. He is the author of over 600 peer-reviewed publications and 34 book chapters covering a broad spectrum of topics in clinical and basic bone biology. He has also served as associate editor at the New England Journal of Medicine for the past nine years.

After serving as director of Clinical and Translational Research at Maine Medical Center’s Research Institute for the past 15 years, he now holds the position of senior scientist and associate director there, in addition to serving as a professor of medicine at the Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston.

Dr. Rosen has overseen numerous Phase II and III clinical trials, serving on advisory panels for the Food and Drug Administration, and participating on numerous committees of the Institute of Medicine, now known as the National Academy of Medicine. He has held many key positions, including chair of the NIH Review Panel for Skeletal Biology and Bone Diseases, and chair of the Clinical Trials Review Panel for the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, to name a few. He also served as president (2002-03) of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
