Marco Renteria

I was born and raised in Baldwin Park, CA, in the greater Los Angeles area. Both of my parents are from Mexico, with family split between Sonora and Jalisco. In terms of research interests, I am broadly interested in metabolism and in bridging science and clinical settings through dietary intervention, as I work toward becoming a physician-scientist. I think the greatest moments of joy I have come from spending time with family and close friends, whether that’s just having a conversation over the phone, watching a show, or eating some really, really good food. For alone time, I like to catch up, watch new shows, or spend time on creative things like drawing or making beats (doesn’t mean I’m good at it just yet). I love either cooking or going out to eat with friends, and exploring the city wherever we are. Baseball was my first love, so I really enjoy watching games and highlights, nerd out over statistics, and talking about the game with people who may not be really familiar. I am excited to continue growing my research skills and scientific thinking through the new connections I hope to make with mentors, future colleagues, and the Stanford community!
