Our Leadership Team
Together at OsNET we’re not just advancing research-we’re changing people’s lives.
We unite scientists, clinicians, and patients across Canada to break silos, embrace innovation, and fast-track solutions from lab to life. These partnerships put patient voices at the centre—driving smarter science and faster access to life-changing therapies.
Every breakthrough in bone health has come from research. And we’re not slowing down. With science, creativity, and compassion, OsNET is tackling the toughest challenges and unlocking a better future for those living with bone conditions.
We know we have an incredible opportunity to solve some of the toughest bone health challenges people face each and every day. That is why we created OsNET- to advance new ideas by giving researchers, scientists & patients a place to connect & have them work side by side to accelerate the pace of progress.
Bone conditions affect Canadians of all ages—limiting mobility, impacting mental health, and diminishing quality of life. At OsNET, we’re committed to transforming that reality through bold, collaborative research.

“At the University of Calgary Bone Imaging Laboratory, we use advanced imaging and computational tools to uncover how bone contributes to joint injuries and disease—driving better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment across the lifespan.
As AI and machine learning accelerate discovery, the need to collaborate, share insights, and support emerging talent is more important than ever. This is an exciting time as OsNET is poised to strengthen partnerships and drive greater impact on bone health in Canada.”

“Bone diseases have a profound impact on those who suffer from them, causing pain, mobility issues & increased risk of fractures. Beyond physical limitations, bone diseases can also negatively affect mental health and overall quality of life. I have seen this firsthand in my patients.
This highlights the urgent need for prevention, early diagnosis, & targeted treatments. I am passionate about the creation of OsNET as it will drive actionable research that improves quality of life and advances bone health for Canadians.”
Angela M. Cheung, MD, PhD
Professor
University of Toronto
“As a general internist focused on bone health, I’m driven to advance research in osteoporosis, atypical femur fractures, and rare bone diseases. OsNET fills a critical gap—uniting clinicians, researchers, and patients to drive innovation where it’s urgently needed.
Together, we’re accelerating precision medicine, gene therapies, and early diagnosis to transform outcomes. Collaboration is key to moving us forward.”
