Geraldine C. Seydoux (born 1964 in Paris, France) is a Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics (1995–present), the Huntington Sheldon Professor in Medical Discovery (2015–present),[2] and the Vice Dean for Basic Research (2017–present) at Johns Hopkins University.
[4][8] Seydoux's work has focused on the earliest stages of embryogenesis and how single-celled eggs develop into multicellular embryos.
The Seydoux lab attempts to determine the process by which embryonic development and polarization are activated.
Seydoux studies Caenorhabditis elegans to examine how embryos choose between soma and germline.
Geraldine Seydoux's studies provide much insight into the creation of a fully formed multicellular organism from a single cell.
