My research program is clinical nutrition and identifying preventative strategies to improve bone health across life stages.
I am an experienced scientist with over 13 years of industrial research background before focussing on academic reserach in 2016. I am currently working as a post-doctoral researcher at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Research.
My current research project include investigating nutrition-gut-bone axis and to identify preventative strategies to reduce fracture risk due to osteoporosis.
Clinical Studies-
1. Investigating Nutritional Determinants of Bone Quality in Orthopaedic patients.
2. Investigating Functional outcomes in patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty.
3. Investigating interactions between nutrition and gut health and its influence on bone metabolism.
