Abstract

It is a great honor to present the 2013 Kober Medal to my mentor and friend, John T. Potts Jr., for his outstanding contributions to medical science. John transformed the field of calcium metabolism by characterizing parathyroid hormone (PTH), documenting its exquisite regulation of serum calcium and developing a series of translational advances to improve the management of primary hyperparathyroidism and osteoporosis. In his role as Chief of Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), John mentored a generation of physician-scientists and pioneered their training in molecular biology as a means to support their careers and catalyze breakthrough discoveries that have transformed medicine across multiple disciplines.
