Aimee Jaramillo-Lambert is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Delaware, affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences. Her research focuses on sexual reproduction mechanisms, particularly sex-specific differences in meiosis, chromosome segregation, and the role of DNA topoisomerases (e.g., TOP-2) in meiotic processes. She utilizes C. elegans as a model organism to study these phenomena, combining live imaging, genetics, and proteomics.
Education: B.S. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis, followed by postdoctoral training at the George Washington University Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health.
Research interests include meiotic chromosome structure regulation, histone modifications, and the interplay between Topo II and meiotic cell cycle proteins. Current projects explore sex-specific chromosome compaction mechanisms and Topo II’s role in spermatogenesis vs. oogenesis.
Teaching includes BISC403 (Genetics) and BISC400 (Special Topics in Biology: Chromosome Structure). She advises the UD SACNAS chapter and mentors undergraduate and graduate students in her lab.
Lab members include postdocs, Ph.D. candidates, and undergraduates working on topics like WEE-1.3 in spermatogenesis, nucleosome remodeling factors, and embryonic viability.
