Bone research

Led by Dr Karen Knapp

My research is primarily clinically focussed.  I completed a PhD at Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, King’s College London in 2002.  The main focus of my research is osteoporosis and bone health and I currently collaborate with a range of people from within and external to the University of Exeter.

My publication listing can be found here.

Current projects:

• Charcot neuroarthropathy
• The effect of obesity on DXA measurements (Prodigy and iDXA)
• MRI and DXA measurement of Visceral Adipose Tissue
• The effect of obesity on bone growth in adolescent girls
• A comparison of body composition measurements
