Early life and education
editSegre 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
editSegre 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.
