Research Intrest

To determine the mechanisms of muscle and bone loss, impaired functional status, and disability in diseases characterised by muscle wasting (principally rheumatoid arthritis and chronic renal failure (CRF); also ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myositis, fibromyalgia, renal insufficiency, and prostate cancer), and to evaluate the efficacy of interventions (e.g. exercise, anabolic agents, anti-cytokine therapy, nutritional supplements) aimed at restoring muscle mass and functional capacity, and attenuating disability.
