Dr Susan Lanham-New is a Reader in Nutrition at the University of Surrey in Guildford, UK and a Registered Public Health Nutritionist. She has been an academic member of staff within the School of Biomedical & Molecular Sciences (now Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences) at the University of Surrey since 1996, having previous worked and studied at the University of Aberdeen and the Rowett Research Institute in Scotland. Her research focuses on the area of nutrition and bone health, for which she has won a number of awards including three Young Investigator Awards at the World (1996), UK (2000) and European (2001) Osteoporosis Conferences as well as the 2001 Nutrition Society Medal for her work on the role of the skeleton in acid-base homeostasis. She is Editor (with Professor J-P Bonjour, Geneva) of the first academic textbook on ‘Nutritional Aspects of Bone Health’ (NAoBH), published by the Royal Society of Chemistry in December 2003 and which has sold over 900 copies and raised more than £4k for the National Osteoporosis Society. She is first Editor on the Prevention and Management of Osteoporosis textbook which was published by Clinical Publishing in April 2007 and is now working on a textbook on Calcium and Vitamin D in Health and Disease (with Professor Steve Abrams, Houston) and a 2nd Edition of NAoBH with JP Bonjour. She has published more than 80 peer-reviewed original papers, book chapters and reviews and raised more than £2M in research grants. She has 5 students who have successfully completed their PhD and a further 7 students in active PhD study. She is a member of the Nutrition Forum for the National Osteoporosis Society and the Scientific Advisory Group of British Nutrition Foundation and the BNF Taskforce on Ageing. She was Honorary Communications Officer of the UK Nutrition Society from 2000-2006. Susan is on the Editorial Board of Osteoporosis Review and External Examiner at the University of Ulster in Coleraine and is also the new Editor-in-Chief of the Nutrition Society Textbook Series.
