Roger Alexis Maldonado-Ruiz

Roger Alexis Maldonado-Ruiz serves as an Adjunct researcher at the Institute for Obesity Research, Campus Monterrey, Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education. His interdisciplinary work bridges bioengineering, medical devices, and immunology within obesity pathophysiology.

His academic credentials include:

• Chemical Bacteriologist and Parasitologist from Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León
• Master of Science with Immunobiology orientation from Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León
• PhD in Sciences with Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering focus from Facultad de Medicina U.A.N.L.

His research investigates maternal programming of obesity through high-energy diets, examining transgenerational effects on ghrelin sensitivity, neuroimmune signaling (IL-10, interferon type I), and microglia morphology. Using rodent models, he explores food addiction-like behaviors, stress responses, and cardiovascular implications including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Publications (2022-2025) reveal consistent focus on neuroimmunometabolic mechanisms, with methodologies spanning molecular biology, behavioral neuroscience, and cardiovascular physiology. Key themes include diet-stress interactions, epigenetic programming, and neuroinflammatory pathways in obesity comorbidities.
