Professor Karen Knapp

I am a Professor of Musculoskeletal Imaging at the University of Exeter. I first developed an interest in osteoporosis during my first job as a Nuclear Medicine Radiographer. I went on to undertake a PhD in this area at King’s College London, with internationally renowned groups in osteoporosis and twin research, based at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals. During my post-doctoral positions, I honed my educational skills teaching medical students and went on to a lectureship at the University of Exeter in 2004. I now combine teaching and research across two Colleges, teaching undergraduate radiographers and clinical research to senior practitioners on the Doctorate in Clinical Research.
