Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Horacio Gómez-Acevedo's research focuses on understanding gene expression and its role in various biological processes, including bone metabolism and reproductive health. His work has investigated the impact of specific gene deletions and mutations on bone mass and resorption in animal models, such as mice and rats. He has also examined the effects of dietary factors, like soy formula, on reproductive outcomes in male piglets.

His publications also extend to human health, exploring the risks of adverse infant outcomes associated with maternal mental health and substance use disorders, as well as utilizing exome sequencing to identify genes associated with nonsyndromic split-hand/foot malformation. Gómez-Acevedo has a notable publication record with an h-index of 17 and over 1,300 citations, and he collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
