Julio Licinio is globally known for his research in leptin and satiety feeling. Fifteen years back, he identified three Turkey people who were suffering from leptin deficiency which is actually a genetic disorder.

1. Julio Licinio Believes In Creative Approach Towards Health
And Medicine
Julio Licinio the name itself signifies a vast medical research over various disorders
in human health. Julio Licinio is a deputy director at South Australian Health and
Medical Research Institute (SAHMARI) where his basic research is of mind and
brain. He is actually a psychiatry who made the deep research on the causes of
depression. With its’ research, it has been found that 40% of depression cases are
caused due to hereditary quality.
Julio Licinio is also psychiatry in Adelaide at Flinders University, clinical professor
in Albuquerque at University of New Mexico School of Medicine, adjunct
professor in Houston at the University of Texas, and visiting professor in Braga at
the University of Minho. He is a founder of the John Curtin School of Medical
research. He is also preparing to publish three journals in the medical field as
Molecular Psychiarity, The Pharmacogenomics, and Translational Psychiatry.

2. He has made deep research on “pharmacogenomics” along with “biology of
depression” and has published book on both medical issues. He has also published
his substantial research translational psychiatry and obesity where he has described
the link between depression obesity and antidepressants. And, as per the Google
Scholar, he has achieved the position h-index of 65 with more than 21,000citations.
He has published total 12 books and more than 240 papers which are indexed in
Pubmed.
Scientific research made by JulioLicino with his colleagues was the first to imply
that leptin may be used as antidepressant effects. This concept was further carried
by many other groups. He has also proved that leptin effects in human are pro-
cognitive.
Julio Licinio is globally known for his research in leptin and satiety feeling. Fifteen
years back, he identified three Turkey people who were suffering from leptin
deficiency which is actually a genetic disorder. At that time, only these three were
having this disorder due to which they were over weighted. And, to cure this
disease he injected leptin in their body on daily basis and after ten months he found
that patient had lost almost half of their weight.

3. This made to discover that leptin is produced in a well organized way with different
circadian rhythm and pulsatility. As a result, it shows that leptin controls every
second rhythm of varied endicrive axes like the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid
axis, adrenal axis, and gonadal axis.
Hence, these were the incredible and innovative contribution of Julio Licinio
towards the medical world that has been made earlier. Apart, from these
contributions, many researches are still going on to throw varied disease related to
depression.
