Zuñiga-Ramos, Joaquin Alejandro

Overview

My name is Joaquín Alejandro Zúñiga Ramos, and I was born on August 16, 1973. I hold a degree in Clinical Chemistry from the Faculty of Bioanalysis at the University of Veracruz. I earned my PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the Faculty of Medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Edmond Yunis at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. I joined the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases (INER) as a researcher in 1999, where I have conducted clinical research studies on patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and influenza virus infection. I participated in the initial description of the first cases of severe pneumonia caused by the pandemic influenza A/H1N1 virus, which emerged in Mexico in 2009.Since then, my research has focused on the study of protective immunity against pathogens, as well as the epigenetic control of immune responses in the lungs. In recent years, I have worked on the immunopathology of severe forms of COVID-19 in collaboration with various institutions. I joined Tecnológico de Monterrey as Director of the Biosciences Program in 2016 and am currently a Research Professor at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. I am a Level 3 National Researcher in the National System of Researchers. In 2020, I received the Miguel Hidalgo Medal from the President of Mexico.
