Our Scientific Advisors
Staying up to date on the latest data is extremely important to us.
That’s why we consult with highly regarded individuals to make sure you get quality, accurate health insights.
Neil Binkley
MD, Professor
Dr. Binkley earned his MD degree from the University of Wisconsin Medical School and subsequently received his training in Internal Medicine at the Marshfield Clinic. After several years in private practice, he returned to the University of Wisconsin in 1990 and completed a Geriatric fellowship. He was instrumental in establishing the UW Osteoporosis Clinical Center and the Osteoporosis Clinical Research Program in the early 1990s.
His research efforts have focused upon osteoporosis diagnosis, the role of nutrition, notably vitamin D, in skeletal health, the link between muscle, bone and fracture risk and recently on the importance of skeletal status in elective Orthopedic surgery.
Dr. Binkley is Director of the UW Osteoporosis Clinical Research Program, past President of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry and a member of the International Osteoporosis Foundation Committee of Scientific Advisors.
He has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers, virtually all of which are related to osteoporosis diagnosis/treatment, vitamin D status/measurement or Orthopedic bone health management surrounding elective surgery or following fracture.
Diane Krueger
BS, CBDT, CCRC
Ms. Krueger earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is an International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD)-certified densitometrist, has managed the University of Wisconsin Osteoporosis Clinical Research Program since its inception in 1993 and is a researcher since 2021.
Ms. Krueger has extensive clinical research experience in osteoporosis and bone densitometry. Her ISCD service has included being Technologist Bone Densitometry Course faculty since 2006 and chairing the related Update Committee.
In her leadership capacity, she is past President, Education Council chair, Executive Committee and Board member.
Adam Kuchnia
PhD, RDN, Assistant Professor
Dr. Adam Kuchnia is an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he leads a research lab focused on understanding why muscles weaken and waste away — particularly in older adults and those facing serious illness.
His work digs into the science behind conditions like sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and cachexia (severe muscle wasting tied to disease), with the goal of uncovering how these changes affect patients' overall health and recovery.
To do this, Adam uses a cutting-edge toolkit of imaging technologies — from ultrasound to MRI — to measure and analyze body composition with precision.
His dual expertise across both Nutritional Sciences and Radiology makes him a uniquely cross-disciplinary voice in the field of muscle health research.
