Research Focus

My research focuses on the laboratory investigation of the hormonal regulation of mineral and skeletal metabolism and also on epidemiologic studies of osteoporosis, the most prevalent form of bone disease.My colleagues and I have examined the demographics, development, risk factors and outcomes of osteoporosis and of osteoporotic fractures. My approach therefore has been to evaluate bone disease in the population, but to anchor these observations with important insights from the laboratory.
