Biography

Tariq Chukir is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University. His research primarily focuses on clinical characteristics and fracture patterns in postmenopausal women with isolated osteoporosis. He has co-authored multiple publications that address issues relevant to rheumatoid arthritis patients undergoing total joint replacements and explores the benefits and potential harms of perioperative glucocorticoids. His work also investigates metformin-induced weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, presenting findings through retrospective cohort studies. In addition, Professor Chukir has contributed to studies evaluating calcitriol elevation associated with a higher risk of refractory hypercalcemia in malignancies, as well as the bone-protective adjuvant effects of antiresorptive agents in postmenopausal women with early breast cancer. His research has broader implications on pharmacotherapy for obesity in individuals with type 2 diabetes and aims to enhance clinical understanding in these critical areas.
