Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Horacio Gómez-Acevedo's research focuses on the molecular and physiological impacts of maternal obesity on offspring development, particularly in the context of metabolic programming. His work investigates how factors like diet and in utero exposure to maternal obesity can disrupt circadian rhythms and alter gene expression and DNA methylation in offspring, leading to potential metabolic dysregulation. Gómez-Acevedo has also contributed to studies examining the placental environment in maternal obesity, including its lipotoxic aspects and the role of specific proteins in inflammation. His research portfolio includes investigations into viral infections, such as HTLV-I, exploring mathematical models for immune responses. With a career spanning over a decade, Gómez-Acevedo has published extensively, accumulating over 1,300 citations and an h-index of 18. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
