Binyam Mogessie is an Assistant Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at Yale University. Originally from Ethiopia, Binyam received his BSc in biochemistry and cell biology in 2007 from Jacobs University Bremen in Germany and his PhD in Cell Biology in 2011 from the University of London. Binyam carried out his postdoc research at the MRC-LMB in Cambridge, UK and the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Germany where he discovered a function of the actin cytoskeleton in preventing aneuploidy in mammalian eggs. Binyam established his independent research laboratory in 2018 at the University of Bristol, UK where he investigated new mechanisms of cytoskeletal organization and chromosome segregation in mammalian eggs and embryos. In 2022, Binyam relocated his lab to Yale University where he continues mechanistic studies of female meiosis and reproductive longevity.
