Hans van Leeuwen is a Full Professor in Internal Medicine at Erasmus University Medical Center. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal disorders, bone metabolism regulation, and therapeutic innovations. He investigates vitamin D pathways, hormonal control of mineral metabolism, and cancer-bone interactions to develop novel therapeutic strategies. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and aging.
Key research areas include:
- Molecular basis of bone strength and repair
- Therapeutic targets for osteoporosis and metastatic bone disease
- Vitamin D's role in bone-cell communication
- Hormonal regulation of calcium/phosphate balance
Recent studies explore:
- β-catenin's role in mesenchymal stem cells under mechanical strain
- Vasorin's impact on mineral homeostasis
- Phosphate regulation of FGF23 via MAPK/TGF-β signaling
He has supervised 20 research projects and collaborates internationally on bone physiology and cancer research. His work emphasizes translational approaches to clinical challenges in bone health.
