Very proud to share the podium in Hong Kong with so many leaders in the fields of #falls #fractures & #osteosarcopenia. Particularly with my Postdoc at University of Melbourne Ben Kirk, PhD. Fragility Fracture Network (FFN) McGill_DOM Research Institute of the MUHC (The Institute)

Enjoyed speaking, learning and collaborating at the Fragility Fracture Network (FFN) meeting in Hong Kong. Congrats to Ronald Wong and Faculty for putting on a great meeting!

Very well deserved! No better person to lead that division to further success.

Semaglutide plus trevogrumab (myostatin inhibitor) preserves muscle mass in the setting of #weightloss over 26 wks Regeneron Combination vs sema alone: 👉 #Weight ⬇️11.3% vs ⬇️10.4% 👉 Muscle ⬇️4.2 lbs vs ⬇️7.9 lbs 👉 Fat ⬇️18.9 lbs vs ⬇️15.3 lbs newsroom.regeneron.com/news-releases/…

Interesting new data on C-terminal agrin fragment concentration, medication, and exercise! Congrats Casper Søndenbroe and team👏🏻

In our recent paper, we report consistent evidence for a combined association of #bone and #muscle health on all-cause #mortality. A great collaboration between Research Institute of the MUHC (The Institute) McGill_DOM UniMelb MDHS AIMSS #MrOsStudy: academic.oup.com/ageing/article… Congratulations Ben Kirk, PhD et al.
