It is with profound sadness that we report the passing of Arnold Caplan, Ph.D. Dr. Caplan was an ICRS member from 2005 and was an ever present faculty participant at most of our summit and world congress meetings where he always asked the most scintillating questions leading to some of the most memorable and entertaining scientific debates I can recall. Dr. Arnold I. Caplan, 82, of Cleveland, passed away peacefully on Jan. 10, 2024, with his family lovingly by his side.
During the Members’ General Assembly in Sitges 2023, it was decided to implement a Nomination Committee to elect new Executive Board members. Per the defined election procedures, the Emeritus Committee has already elected Christoph Erggelet as the Non-voting Chair. The General Board has elected Susan Chubinskaya as its representative to join the Committee. The ICRS now opens a self-nomination process to select four additional Members at Large to complete this Committee.
It is with profound sadness that we learned of the passing of our ICRS Corporate Member Christian Bezenar (1974-2023), President & Executive Director at JRF Ortho. Christian was a truly remarkable individual who was passionate about joint preservation. Any new invention or breakthrough in cartilage science, even though a small one, has brought excitement on Christian’s face.
