Osteoporosis in the ageing

With the support of the Medical Foundation in 2008, Associate Professor Duque implemented the Ageing Bone Research Program at Nepean Clinical School. The program included three elements; basic sciences, translational research, and clinical trials.

The focus of the program is to determine the changes that happen during the ageing process in bone, including the identification of the potential link between ageing and senile osteoporosis as well as the identification of potential therapeutic approaches for senile osteoporosis.
