Dr. Benjamin Mullin is a Research Fellow specializing in genetics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology. He completed his Ph.D. studies in genetic epidemiology of osteoporosis at Curtin University in 2011. Dr. Mullin has worked as a Medical Scientist in the Molecular Genetics Department at PathWest Laboratory Medicine from 2010 to 2012. He returned to research in 2012 as a Research Associate at the University of Western Australia, where he currently leads the osteoclast unit of the Molecular Endocrinology laboratory at QEII Medical Centre. His primary research interests focus on investigating the genetics of complex diseases, particularly those affecting the skeleton and reproductive endocrinology. He has worked on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and has published extensively in top-tier journals including The Lancet and Nature Genetics. As a Chief Investigator for National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Ideas Grants, he has also been a key contributor to international GWAS meta-analyses related to bone structural traits. Dr. Mullin's work has yielded significant insights into genetic factors influencing osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and Paget’s disease of bone.
