Summary

  • Dr. Marx graduated from Yale College Summa Cum Laude, received his MD in Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1968, and then trained for three years in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology at Massachusetts General Hospital. He has spent 48 years conducting research at the NIH as a tenured faculty member. He is a senior member of the Inter-Institute Endocrine Training Program at NIH. For 20 years, he was Chief of the Genetics and Endocrinology Section of NIDDK. He has published over 400 articles and served on the editorial boards of many journals. He lectures at national and international meetings. His main interests have been clinical and basic studies of the parathyroids and hereditary disorders associated with hyperparathyroidism. He led the recognition of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. He participated in collaborations that led to identification of most of the genes that cause variants of primary hyperparathyroidism; CASR, MEN1, HRPT2, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) (i.e. p27, p15, p18, p21), and GCM2. In 2015 he was honored by NIDDK appointment as the first Gerald D. Aurbach Distinguished Scientist. Presently he is in the Office of the Scientific Director (OSD) and the Section of Endocrinology and Genetics (SEGEN) of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human development (NICHD). He continues to conduct research on the endocrine and genetic aspects of parathyroid and other hormonal disorders.
