Sevgi Rodan Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Uri Liberman was not only a dear friend of my husband, Gideon Rodan, but he was also a dear friend to me. He was an expert in osteoporosis being involved in many clinical trials. He was a gentleman, a nice man, modest in all his achievements. He was also a devoted family man. I will miss him very much.

Daniel Bikle Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Uri was a good friend. We shared interests in vitamin D and I admired the contributions he made with the patients who had mutations in their VDR. He will be missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Karpf Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 I first met Uri when he was key investigator in the Fosamax (alendronate sodium) Phase 3 program in 1991. He was a true mensch, a real gentleman, and a caring physician. My condolences to his family - the Bone World has lost yet another giant. May his memory be a blessing! David B. Karpf, MD Adj.

Gordon Klein Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 I met Uri when I was an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Tulane back in 1982. He was invited to speak on Vitamin D by my colleague Marian Walters. I had a growing interest in vitamin D and we hit it off immediately and kept in touch over the years at both ASBMR meetings and the Molecular Pharmacology workshops at Oxford. I always admired his sound judgement and his breadth of knowledge and I will miss our discussions of bone science and life. Rest In Peace, Uri.

Larry Suva Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Uri was a gentle man and a gentleman. A dear friend to many of us, a role model for patience, devotion, dedication and thoughtfulness. I will always treasure our discussions about science, vitamin D and art. It saddens me to hear this news. Safe travels my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
