Paul's research focuses on preventative strategies for preventing or treating bone diseases including rare genetic disorders of mineral metabolism. His research focuses on novel cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern the bone micro-environment. His work includes the understanding of the nutritional and hormonal interactions on bone health, clinical studies related to fracture prevention, fracture healing, diabetes and poor bone health outcomes, and links between genetic mutations and poor bone health. His research in the field of vitamin D includes bone health as well as areas of research in cancer, immunity, and pregnancy.
Paul has generated continuous funding from the NHMRC (2009-2019), attracting over $6M in research funds. His research is recognised internationally as evidenced by invitations to speak at numerous national and international meetings. He has published extensively, and has been editor special journal issues and the book "The Physiological Basis of Metabolic Bone Disease". Paul is also active in several research societies and is currently the Honorary Secretary to the Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society.
