Dr Einat Segev completed her BSc in biology and geology magna cum laude at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2003, followed by an MSc in Earth Sciences (2005) and a PhD in microbiology there in 2012. She completed postdoctoral fellowships at both Harvard Medical School and MIT before joining the faculty of the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2017. Dr. Segev has been awarded postdoctoral fellowships by the Human Frontier Science Program, the European Molecular Biology Organization, and the Weizmann Institute’s Israel National Postdoctoral Program for Advancing Women in Science.The career trajectory of Dr. Segev led her to a unique position at the interface of microbiology and Earth Sciences. She seeks to identify interdisciplinary questions and tackle them by integrating knowledge and tools from various fields, thinking across boundaries, and creating multifaceted research approaches.The Segev group at the Weizmann Institute of Science focuses on the study of microbial interactions in the marine environment geared towards a mechanistic understanding of those interactions and their influence on biogeochemical cycles. The group developed a wide array of expertise including organic and inorganic metabolomics, genetic manipulations of marine bacteria, state-of-the-art live microscopy, and microbial geochemistry. Dr. Segev is an active member of various national and international forums that aim to advance women in science and promote scientific excellence in the spirit of the San Francisco declaration of research assessment (SF DORA).
