National Osteoporosis Foundation Honors LawrencesBCM Trustee Berdon Lawrence and his wife Rolanette were honored with the National Osteoporosis Foundation Innovation Award on May 19 for their efforts in starting The Rolanette and Berdon Lawrence Bone Disease Program of Texas, a research and clinical collaboration between BCM and The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. "Rolanette and I are so proud to be part of this program's success," said Lawrence. "In just a decade it has become the premier bone disease program in Texas." The Lawrences have given $6 million to the program since 2000. "We are appreciative of the generosity the Lawrences have shown in the development of the Bone Disease Program," said BCM Interim President Dr. William T. Butler, "Their continued support has allowed Baylor and M. D. Anderson to expand clinical and research endeavors related to bone disease." Under the direction of Dr. Brendan Lee, professor of molecular and human genetics at BCM and chief of the Skeletal Dysplasia Clinic at Texas Children's Hospital, the Lawrence Bone Disease Program seeks to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of metabolic and genetic bone diseases. Dr. Robert Gagel, professor and head of MD Anderson's division of internal medicine, is codirector of the program. |
