Christine Lary

Christine Lary is a Research Associate Professor at Northeastern University's Roux Institute. Her research focuses on musculoskeletal genomics and aging, combining bioinformatics with epidemiological approaches to study osteoporosis and dementia comorbidities.

Research examines:

• Genetic links between osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease
• Beta-blocker effects on bone metabolism through pharmacogenomics
• Social determinants of bone health
• Bioinformatics approaches to complex disease genetics

Publications demonstrate strong epidemiological methodologies using cohort data (Framingham Study) and multi-omics integration. Recent work identifies pleiotropic genetic loci connecting bone mineral density and dementia risk.

Collaborates widely on musculoskeletal research and develops analytical frameworks for genetic network analysis. Research supported by NIH and foundations.
