Research Focus
Dr. Isaac Marin-Valencia's lab focuses on understanding how metabolism affects brain development. They study when and how metabolic pathways change during critical growth periods in the brain. By using advanced techniques, they aim to uncover important switches in metabolism that could influence the risk of neurological disorders. Their work not only deepens our understanding of brain growth but also has implications for public health by addressing conditions linked to metabolic disruptions.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
