Research interests
My research aims to improve the quality of life for individuals living with rare heritable bone disorders. My work focuses on advancing fundamental bone research, particularly in understanding the biology behind bone fragility, developing patient-derived and animal models that more accurately recapitulate disease, and supporting the development of mechanism-based therapies.
I am especially commited to fostering collaboration between scientific, clinical and the patient communities, ensuring research remains both impactful and patient-centered.
