Lamya Karim

Lamya Karim is a researcher at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, focusing on bone health and its interplay with metabolic conditions like diabetes. Her work explores how diabetes and dietary factors affect bone microarchitecture, mechanical behavior, and biochemical markers such as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).

Research Interests:

• Impact of diabetes on bone composition and strength
• AGEs and skeletal fragility
• Nutritional interventions for bone health
• Biomechanical properties of cortical and trabecular bone
• Osteocyte gene regulation under hyperglycemic conditions
• Mouse models for studying bone disease

Key Trends in Publications:
Her recent studies emphasize the role of hyperglycemia and AGEs in bone deterioration, using rodent and human models. Topics include dietary impacts on bone quality, vitamin supplementation effects, and comparative analyses of cortical and trabecular bone behavior in diabetic conditions.
