About Shruti Shakthivel
I researched the pathological interaction between Alzheimer's Disease and osteoporosis. I discovered a possible link between the two diseases. I presented my project at multiple symposiums, most notably, the 2019 International Student Science Fair in Singapore. Currently researching bone formation pathologies and how phosphate levels and bone mineralization are controlled by FGF23 protein levels.
