Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My research area is the genetic epidemology of musculoskeletal and endocrine disease, with a special focus on osteoporosis and diabetes-related bone disease. I have been a representative researcher for the Rotterdam Study (the Netherlands) in several collaborative consortia, including: GEFOS: Genetic Factors for Osteoporosis; GENOMOS: Genetic Markers for Osteoporosis; CHARGE: Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology; NCHA: Netherlands Consortium for Healthy Ageing.
