He is Assistant Professor of Endocrinology at University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine at Washington University in St Louis. His research is funded by national and international institutions.
At the moment his group is mostly engaged on analyzing the effect of WNT pathway, inflammation, sarcopenia on bone strength in obesity and Type 2 diabetes using both human and animal models.
He is also interested on the effect of lifestyle intervention and antidiabetic medications on memory, frailty and bone fragility in diabetic patients. His research interests cover also the study of predictors and risk factors for fragility fractures in large population cohorts and their treatment through new anti-osteoporotic treatment.
He serves on the Editorial Board of JBMR, Osteoporosis International , in the Committee of Scientific Advisors of the International Osteoporosis Foundation, in the Bone academy of the ECTS.
