معرفی
Mohammed P. Akhter, PhD is a Professor in the Department of Medicine at Creighton University School of Medicine with a 30-year research career focused on bone biomechanics, diabetes-related bone pathology, and mechanical loading effects on bone remodeling. His work spans animal models (rice rats, mice), clinical bone analysis via microCT and Raman spectroscopy, and translational studies in postmenopausal bone quality.
- Key Research Areas:
- Bone material properties in Type 1 Diabetes
- Osteocyte lacunar void analysis
- Nanoindentation testing of bone
- Fracture risk assessment
- Smoking/tobacco effects on bone
- Notable Collaborations:
- Robert R. Recker (Creighton University)
- Eleftherios P. Paschalis (UMKC School of Dentistry)
- Sonja Gamsjaeger (Medical University of Vienna)
Publication Trends: Recent work (2022-2025) emphasizes nanoscale bone analysis in diabetic populations, Eagle syndrome imaging, and collagen cross-linking mechanisms. Earlier studies established foundational knowledge about mechanical loading responses, nicotine effects on bone, and LRP5 gene influences on bone architecture.
Additional Contributions: Regular seminar presenter at institutions like UMKC School of Dentistry and Creighton University, with methodological innovations in bone imaging (MicroXCT-200 system) and fatigue damage quantification.
