Julie Angela Segre 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] She was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2019,[5] the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2020[6] and the National Academy of Sciences in 2022.[7]

Early life and education

Segre was born in Berkeley, California, the daughter of Nina and Gino Claudio Segrè. She was raised in Philadelphia, where her father was a professor of physics at the University of Pennsylvania. Segre received her B.A. summa cum laude in mathematics from Amherst College in 1987,[8] where she later served on the board of trustees.[9] She received her Ph.D. in 1996 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Segre then performed postdoctoral training in Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago (1996-2000).

Research and career

Segre came to the National Human Genome Research Institute of NIH in 2000 and was promoted to a senior investigator with tenure in 2007.[10]

Segre's laboratory studies how the epidermis interfaces between the body and the environment.[11] Using genomic methodologies, Segre studies the bacteria and microbes of the skin microbiome.[11] Segre's laboratory also develops genomic tools to track hospital-acquired infections of multi-drug resistant organisms.
