Dr. Jose M Arbones-Mainar is a Senior Scientist at Aragon Health Sciences Institute. He completed his PhD studies in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Zaragoza in 2005. He did his postdoctoral training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2006 to 2010. He investigates the molecular mechanisms involved in controlling energy expenditure, fat deposition, and the mechanisms affecting the partition of energy towards oxidation or storage. The long-term goal of his research is to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms contributing to obesity and its pathophysiological consequences, particularly Type II diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). He is the head of the AdipoFat group in the Translational Research Unit at the Aragon Health Sciences Institute.
