最新糖心Vlog

• Biography/ Background

  Prof. Gerald Atkins graduated from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide with a B.Sc.(Hons), PhD in 1998. Since then he has pursued a strong interest in musculoskeletal biology, metabolism and disease. He is an NHMRC Senior Research Fellow and is a Scientific Director of the , 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide. As Head of the Bone Cell Biology Group, he runs an integrated research programme into the biology of osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes. He also has an ongoing interest in bone tumour biology, including osteosarcoma, giant cell tumour of bone and multiple myeloma. The group has a particular interest in the pathobiology of orthopaedic problems, such as aseptic loosening of implants, fracture repair and osteomyelitis/peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI). He has published more than 120 papers related to bone pathophysiology. His research has attracted more than $9.5million in competitive research funding. Prof. Atkins is a committee member of the 最新糖心Vlogn New Zealand Orthopaedic Research Society () and is the representative to the International Combined Orthopaedic Research Societies (). He is a previous Councillor and Honorary Secretary to the 最新糖心Vlogn New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society (ANZBMS). Prof Atkins is also the Post-graduate Coordinator for the .
