Dr. Miguel Corona earned his Bachelor's in Biology from the University of Guadalajara, Mexico. He then completed both his Master's and PhD at the Institute of Biotechnology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) under the supervision of Dr. Baltazar Becerril and Dr. Lourival Possani. Following his doctoral studies, Miguel undertook postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, where he worked with Dr. Gene Robinson and at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, under the guidance of Dr. Lauren Keller. Since 2011, Dr. Corona has been employed at the Honey Bee Research Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, Maryland. He has conducted pioneering research on the molecular mechanisms underlying remarkable biological processes in honeybees, such as caste determination, queen longevity, and the nutritional regulation of division of labor among workers. Currently, her main lines of research are related to bee nutrition and their interactions with parasites and diseases. To date, Dr. Corona has published approximately 60 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and his work has garnered over 6,000 citations.
