Sue Hammoud

Sue Hammoud is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan Medical School in the Department of Human Genetics and Obstetrics and Gynecology. Her research focuses on reproductive genetics, epigenetics, and gametogenesis, particularly investigating molecular mechanisms in spermatogenesis and oocyte development.

• Key Research Areas: Epigenetic inheritance, chromatin dynamics in gametes, protamine function in sperm, and single-cell transcriptomics of reproductive tissues.
• Recent Work: Explores histone retention patterns, centromere symmetry restoration in zygotes, and cryopreservation effects on oocyte transcriptomes.

Scientific Recognition: Recipient of the Judges' Choice Award in Therapeutics at the Equalize Startups Pitch Event for her translational research.
