Arturo Hernandez

Arturo Hernandez is a Research Professor at the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering, University of Maine. His research focuses on thyroid hormone regulation, developmental biology, and epigenetic mechanisms, particularly through studies of the Dio3 gene. He holds a BS and PhD from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain), with postdoctoral training at Dartmouth Medical School.

Research Interests:

• Impact of thyroid hormone alterations on endocrine function, neurological outcomes, and behavioral disorders.
• Role of Dio3 in obesity, type 2 diabetes, infertility, autism, schizophrenia, and depression.
• Epigenetic regulation of Dio3 expression and its influence by environmental factors.

Lab & Collaborations: Leads a laboratory investigating Dio3's role in thyroid hormone metabolism and disease pathways. His work bridges developmental biology, endocrinology, and neurology, with implications for both clinical and basic science.
