Julie Angela Segre, Ph.D. is the Chief and Senior Investigator of the Translational and Functional Genomics Branch in the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health.[4]

Education and career

Segre received her B.A. summa cum laude in mathematics from Amherst College in 1987,[1] where she now serves on the board of trustees.[4] She received her Ph.D. in 1996 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1] Segre then performed postdoctoral training in Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago (1996-2000).[1]

Segre came to the National Human Genome Research Institute of NIH in 2000 and was promoted to a senior investigator with tenure in 2007.[4]

Research

Segre's laboratory studies how the epidermis interfaces between the body and the environment.[5] Using genomic methodologies, Segre studies the bacteria and microbes of the skin microbiome.[5] Segre's laboratory also develops genomic tools to track hospital-acquired infections of multi-drug resistant organisms, including the NIH's recent Klebsiella pneumoniae outbreak.[4]
