Dr Kai Chen is currently a Research Associate at the School of Molecular Sciences, UWA. He finished his medical and orthopaedic surgery training in China (2007 - 2015). Supported by Australian Government International Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarships, he completed his PhD studies (2019) in Bone Biology under the supervision of Winthrop/Prof Jiake Xu, A/Prof Nathan Pavlos, and Dr Jennifer Tickner at UWA.
His current research interests include nutrient metabolism in the bone, angiogenesis and bone repair, the pathogenesis of bone disorders such as ageing- and estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis. Dr Chen has recently developed a first-of-its-kind approach, based on ion microscopy, to achieve the metabolic imaging of single bone cells at the nanoscale. By using a stable isotope-labelled tracer, Dr Chen is interested to advance the understanding of bone collagen turnover and drug transport in the bone.
