Natalie Nannas

Natalie Nannas investigates how genetic information, packaged into chromosomes, is properly segregated when cells divide in meiosis, the specialized division that creates egg and sperm. Her research focuses on how the spindle machinery is assembled, how chromosomes are properly attached via kinetochores, and how this process is safeguarded as errors can lead to miscarriage, infertility, and genetics disorders. She has published articles in Genetics, PLoS Genetics, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Journal of Cell Science, Plant Cell, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Frontiers in Plant Science and Current Protocols in Plant Biology. She is the recipient of multiple grants from the National Science Foundation. Nannas earned a master's and doctorate from Harvard University in molecular biology and genetics. After her graduate work, she was a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in Plant Genomics at the University of Georgia, studying mechanisms of meiotic chromosome segregation.
