Eva Medico Salsench

Eva Medico Salsench is a Researcher in the Clinical Genetics department at Erasmus MC, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of genetic brain disorders. Her work bridges fundamental genetic research with clinical applications, particularly in understanding regulatory elements and enhancer regions in neurodevelopment.

Her research interests center on the non-coding genome's role in brain disorders, with specific expertise in enhancer regions, regulatory elements, and zebra fish models for studying neurological conditions. She investigates how mutations in genes like AMFR and YIF1B lead to disorders such as hereditary spastic paraplegia and other neurodevelopmental conditions, with recent work exploring potential statin treatments for genetic neurological disorders.

Her publications from 2021-2023 demonstrate a strong focus on integrating multi-omics approaches to understand brain development and genetic disorders. The research spans from basic mechanisms of gene regulation to clinical applications, with particular attention to autosomal recessive inheritance patterns and potential therapeutic interventions.

Dr. Medico Salsench collaborates extensively with international research teams across Europe and beyond, as evidenced by her multi-author publications with researchers from various institutions worldwide. Her work has gained attention in academic circles with significant citation counts and social media engagement.
