Rate My Professor Christian Girgis

Girgis's research centers on vitamin D signaling, metabolic bone disorders, osteoporosis, fracture prevention, and novel therapies such as denosumab discontinuation strategies and sequential osteoanabolic treatments. His work integrates preclinical and clinical studies, advancing understanding of bone metabolism and skeletal muscle function. Key publications include 'The roles of vitamin D in skeletal muscle: form, function, and metabolism' (Endocrine Reviews, 2013), 'Vitamin D and Skeletal Muscle: Current Concepts From Preclinical Research' (JBMR Plus, 2021), 'Osteoporosis in the age of COVID-19' (Clinical Endocrinology, 2020), 'Denosumab discontinuation in the clinic: implications of rebound bone turnover and emerging strategies to prevent bone loss and fractures' (Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2025), and 'Balancing the risks and benefits of sun exposure: A revised position statement for Australian adults' (Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 2024). He leads interdisciplinary research efforts across university health precincts, fostering collaborations with major hospitals to translate findings into clinical practice and public health initiatives. In 2015, Girgis received the Endocrine Society of Australia Young Investigator Scientific Article Award.
