I served as an associate editor for the journal Dermato-Endocrinology and I am editor-in-chief for the Journal of Clinical Laboratory.

Dr Holick has made numerous contributions to the field of the bio- chemistry, physiology, metabolism, and photobiology of vitamin D for human nutrition.

I have been conducting basic, clinical and translational research in the fields of vitamin D and bone and collagen metabolism for more than 40 years. When I started my career as an endocrinologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital, a Harvard teaching hospital, in my practice I routinely saw infants, children and adults with a wide variety of metabolic bone diseases.

I am nationally and internationally recognized for my expertise in pediatric and adult metabolic bone disease including the genetics of metabolic bone disease in infants, children and adults. I have been invited as the Grand Round speaker and keynote speaker for Universities, hospitals and Society meetings.

I was invited as the outside expert for a Clinical Pathology Conference for the Harvard Medical School and New England Journal of Medicine about a child presenting with seizures who had severe vitamin D deficiency rickets. I also edited a book on bone health in children entitled Perinatal Calcium and Phosphorus Metabolism and served on the editorial board for the Journal of Pediatrics.

I have done and continue to do both basic and clinical genetics research and was the author for the chapter Genetics of Vitamin D Disorders for the textbook Genetic Diagnosis of Endocrine Disorders. I wrote the review on Vitamin D Deficiency for the New England Journal of Medicine [1] and alerted health care professionals worldwide about the unrecognized vitamin D deficiency and rickets epidemic in the review Resurrection of Vitamin D Deficiency Rickets in the Journal of Clinical Investigation I have published over manuscripts in well-respected peer-reviewed journals and more than reviews and book chapters.
