John Gostage is a trained anatomist specializing in muscle research, currently based at the University of Western Australia. He started his research career at the Wales Centre for Anatomical Education at Cardiff University from 2013 to 2018, focusing on bone research and the role of extracellular vesicles in bone microenvironments. After completing his MBiomed (with Honours) at Cardiff University, he received funding from the MRC-Arthritis Research UK Centre for Integrated Research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA) to pursue a Master of Research (MRes) and PhD at the University of Sheffield under prominent researchers. His doctoral research investigated the effects of RANKL inhibitors on skeletal muscle using in vitro myogenesis models. He then worked as a research associate at the University of Galway, where he was involved in the development of novel medical devices. His research interests include RANKL-RANK signaling in skeletal muscle, the roles of RANKL inhibitors in muscle decline, and the interplay between bone and muscle in conditions like sarcopenia and osteosarcopenia. John is dedicated to advancing understanding in these areas through his teaching and research.
