Mario D Cordero is Research Associate at the University of Sevilla, Laboratory of Biological Research. He studies the role of AMPK in the metabolic abnormalities of the central nervous system in psychiatric diseases, and the implication of AMPK in the mechanism of pain and inflammation. He is also involved in drug trials using AMPK activators in rare diseases.

Benoit Viollet leads a research team at the Institut Cochin, Paris, which studies the physiological role of AMPK in cellular energy balance and the integrated stress response such as exercise, as well as nutrient and hormonal signals. The work includes studies of the therapeutic opportunity of AMPK in metabolic abnormalities associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
