About this listen

The lads sit down with Prof Raj Thakker to unpack the body’s calcium thermostat and why it matters for bone strength. Raj explains how faults in calcium-sensing pathways can cause hormone and mineral imbalance, increasing bone loss and fracture risk. We also discuss how genetic diagnosis can help families through earlier testing and prevention. A practical conversation connecting molecular biology to better osteoporosis care.

Prof Raj Thakker is Professor of Medicine at the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary University of London, and Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of Oxford. He is also a Fellow of Somerville College, Oxford, and Editor-in-Chief of JBMR.
