Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Horacio Gómez-Acevedo is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Informatics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His research interests include the genetic and molecular underpinnings of bone metabolism and development, as well as the study of adverse infant outcomes related to maternal health. He has published work investigating the role of specific genes and cellular mechanisms in bone mass regulation, including studies on Mmp13 deletion in mesenchymal cells and the impact of Rab33b missense mouse models on bone resorption. Additionally, Gómez-Acevedo has contributed to research examining the effects of soy formula on reproductive health in male piglets and the risk of adverse infant outcomes associated with maternal mental health and substance use disorders. His work is supported by collaborations with researchers such as Mohammed S. Orloff, David W. Ussery, and Yasir Rahmatallah from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and Ebrahim Jakoet from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Gómez-Acevedo has an h-index of 17, with 78 total publications and 1,303 total citations.
