Osteoporosis Research at Garvan
Garvan’s osteoporosis research is diverse, focusing on translating basic scientific discoveries into the clinic. Our scientists have developed a new understanding of how gene abnormalities lead to the development of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Research is now directed to discovering how to repair bone and to prevent osteoporosis in those who may have inherited an increased risk for the disease.
