Research Focus
Dr. Gerard Karsenty's lab at Columbia University studies the relationship between bone health and aging. The research explores how bones not only decline with age but also play an active role in regulating various bodily functions. By understanding these connections, the lab aims to uncover new ways to combat age-related bone loss and improve overall health during aging.

Research Aims
4AIM 01Determine how bone's endocrine functions influence bone mass accrual during aging.
AIM 02Define the effects of dietary changes on bone's remodeling and endocrine roles.
AIM 03Investigate the role of bone-derived lipocalin-2 in emergency myelopoiesis during inflammation.
AIM 04Explore the interaction between bone and sympathetic neurons and its impact on metabolism.
