- Research interests
-
I developed my longstanding interest in metabolic bone diseases via an MRC Training Fellowship. My initial interests were in the field of malignant bone disease, but subsequently focussed on osteoporosis. I have been the principal investigator in a number of MRC and pharmaceutical industry-funded studies.
I am an acknowledged expert in the fields of vertebral fracture definition, osteoporosis epidemiology as well as non-invasive assessments of bone strength and fracture risk. I have published over 150 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, guidelines, and reviews.
