Overview

---

I am an Associate Professor in the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, an ISCD-certified clinical densitometrist (CCD), and the medical director of the High-Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT ) imaging core at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (CU-AMC). As Assistant Director of the NORC Energy Balance Assessment Core (EBAC), I oversee clinical services in conjunction with Dr. Seth Creasy, namely DXA and HR-pQCT.

As a physician scientist, my clinical practice focuses on metabolic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. My research  primarily investigates if and how sleep and circadian disruptions affect bone metabolism to determine if these disturbances are novel, modifiable risk factors for bone loss, osteoporosis, and increased fracture risk.
