Dr. Francisco González-Lima is a leading neuroscientist and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, known for his pioneering work on brain energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. His research focuses on how the enzyme cytochrome oxidase shapes memory, cognition, and vulnerability to aging and neurodegeneration. Over his decades-long career, he has become a global authority on metabolic brain imaging, neuroprotection, and non-invasive interventions such as low-dose methylene blue and near-infrared light therapy, helping redefine how scientists understand and support healthy brain aging.
