Miguel Reyes

Miguel Reyes is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Biology at Emory University. His research examines how environmental stressors influence symbiotic relationships in biological systems, particularly focusing on host polyphenism in pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum).

Education:

• Ph.D. in Biology, Clark University, 2016
• M.Sc. in Biology, Southern Connecticut State University, 2009
• B.A. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, 2003

Research interests include physiological tradeoffs between symbiont maintenance and reproductive capacity under stress conditions. His teaching philosophy emphasizes interactive learning in courses covering Foundations of Biology, Ecology, Evolution, and Physiology.

Publications combine biological research with cultural studies, exploring themes of diaspora and identity through ethnographic approaches. Recent works examine representation in visual media and historical healthcare systems.
