Bone Up the Podcast: informing and empowering · 'Bone Up'

0:00
Hello and welcome to Bone Up, the UK's first podcast all about bones and osteoporosis.
0:07
My name is Professor David Armstrong. I'm a consultant rheumatologist at Alton
0:11
McElven Hospital in London, Derry.
0:14
Hi, my name is Dr Richie Abel. I'm a research scientist at Imperial College London, where
0:21
I lead a group of scientists researching bone tissue and bone health. And I also have the
0:26
pleasure to teach research skills to medical students.
0:30
I specialise in osteoporosis and rare types of bone disease. And over this podcast, I
0:37
hope to be exploring all aspects of bone health and bone disease from the clinic to the gymnasium,
0:44
from the laboratory to the community pharmacy, from cellular biology right through to how
0:50
to chat to your granny about fracture risk.
0:54
My research team collaborates with clinicians, engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists.
1:00
And we are studying why aging and disease make bone fragile and how the treatments that
1:05
we give restore strength. And in this podcast, I want to talk about the amazing research
1:11
going on all around the world.
1:14
We hope you'll join us on our journey through the world of bone health and osteoporosis,
1:19
and hopefully we'll all learn something along the way. We've lots of exciting people lined
1:23
up to talk to, and we'd love to hear from you as well.
1:26
So if there's anything you'd like us to talk about, just drop us a comment. David and I
1:33
will see you again in the next episode.
