In Memoriam

It is with great sadness that AAKSIS reports the passing of one of its founding members, Wolfram E. Nolten, M.D.

Not only was Dr. Nolten with AAKSIS from its beginning, he was also a member of the AAKSIS Board of Directors as well as a member of the AAKSIS Professional Advisory Board.

Dr. Nolten, a recognized expert in endocrinology and Klinefelter Syndrome, worked tirelessly to promote information and understanding of KS for those diagnosed, their families, and the medical profession.

He presented at numerous meetings and conferences throughout his professional career including every AAKSIS conference.  In addition, Dr. Nolten gave  complimentary private consults at every AAKSIS conference.

Dr. Nolten was born and raised in Germany and graduated from the University of Munich Medical School.  He completed his medical residency at Ohio State University and his Fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, at the University of Cincinnati Medical School.  For the past 33 years, he practiced medicine and taught at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics as an endocrinologist within the Department of Medicine. His practice included outreach clinics in Appleton, Fond du Lac, Mauston, and Wausau.
