Dr. Geraldine Seydoux is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator running a developmental biology lab at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine where she is currently the Sheldon Professor of Medical Discovery. Her lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind the early stages of embryogenesis. She received her BS in Biochemistry from the University of Maine in 1986, and PhD from Princeton University in 1991. Before becoming a professor at Johns Hopkins, she did a postdoctoral fellowship at Carnegie Institute of Washington with Andy Fire. She became an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University in 1995 and a earned a full professorship in 2004. She has received multiple scientific awards including a MacArthur Fellowship in 2005. More recently, in 2016, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Learn more about her research here.
