The 1st Forum on Exploring a New Concept of Bone Health
Date: June 20, 2025 (Friday) 9:30 - 12:00
Venue: Shanghai
Host: Haleon, Nature Custom Media
Our bones have many crucial functions. They enable us to move, protect our internal organs, allow us to manufacture blood- and immune cells, and maintain the structural integrity of our bodies. But as we age, we lose bone strength and bone toughness, leading to a greater risk of osteoporosis and fractures. To prevent these problems, scientists have been striving to understand the detailed changes that occur within our bones, with some areas of focus including bone strength and bone toughness. Researchers are also exploring the role of micronutrients — such as magnesium, zinc, manganese, and copper — in maintaining bone health.
This half-day event will feature five 20-minute presentations by global experts in this field to share the latest findings in bone science and nutritional interventions, emerging technologies for assessing and monitoring bone health, as well as other strategies for keeping our bones healthy and strong.

Kassim Javaid教授
英国牛津大学
英国牛津大学骨质疏松症和成人罕见骨疾病教授,牛津大学医院 NHS 信托基金会成人风湿病名誉顾问医生
他擅长常见和罕见的代谢性骨病。 他是牛津骨折预防服务、英格兰和威尔士全国骨折联络服务审计的临床负责人,并担任脆性骨折网络董事会成员。 他还是牛津成人罕见骨病服务和成人罕见骨病合作网络的临床负责人。 他的研究兴趣包括肌肉骨骼疾病流行病学,重点是罕见骨病和二级骨折预防。

Ian Reid
Distinguished professor and director of Human Health Research of Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at University of Auckland, New Zealand
Ian Reid is an endocrinologist and Distinguished Professor at the University of Auckland. His research interests include calcium metabolism, vitamin D, osteoporosis and Paget’s disease. He has worked extensively in the development of the bisphosphonates for use in osteoporosis and Paget’s disease, and also on the safety and efficacy of calcium supplements, vitamin D deficiency and supplementation, and has been involved in development of most new osteoporosis treatments in the last 30 years. In recent years, his work has focused on interventions that are effective in reducing fracture rate, since that is the final clinically important endpoint in preventing and managing osteoporosis. He has also had an increasing role in writing reviews of osteoporosis management.
He is a past-president of the International Bone and Mineral Society (IBMS) and the Australian & New Zealand Bone & Mineral Society (ANZBMS), and recipient of research awards from the European Calcified Tissue Society, the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research, the ANZBMS and the New Zealand Prime Minister’s Science Prize.
Ian R Reid 教授
新西兰奥克兰大学特聘教授、医学与健康科学学院人类健康研究主任
Ian Reid是奥克兰大学(University of Auckland)的内分泌专家和特聘教授。 他的研究兴趣包括钙代谢、维生素 D、骨质疏松症和 Paget 病。 他在开发用于治疗骨质疏松症和 Paget 病的双膦酸盐方面做了大量工作,还研究了钙补充剂、维生素 D 缺乏和补充的安全性和有效性,并参与了过去 30 年中大多数骨质疏松症新疗法的开发。 近年来,他的工作重点是有效降低骨折率的干预措施,因为骨折率是预防和控制骨质疏松症的最终临床重要终点。 他还在撰写骨质疏松症管理综述方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。
他是国际骨与矿物质学会(IBMS)和澳大利亚与新西兰骨与矿物质学会(ANZBMS)的前任主席,曾获得欧洲钙化组织学会、美国骨与矿物质研究学会、澳大利亚与新西兰骨与矿物质学会和新西兰总理科学奖的研究奖项。
