Natalie Dye earned a Bachelors of Science degree at the University of Maryland before moving to California to pursue a PhD in Biochemistry at Stanford University. There, she was advised by Dr. Julie Theriot and Dr. Lucy Shapiro and worked on how a bacterial cell maintains its shape using the actin homolog MreB. Afterwards, she moved on for a postdoc in the lab of Dr. Suzanne Eaton at the MPI-CBG in Dresden, studying epithelial growth and morphogenesis using the Drosophila wing model. She began her independent group in 2021 at the TU-Dresden and then moved to the Mechanobiology Institute and Biomedical Engineering departments at the National University of Singapore in 2024. There, she is continuing to study the dynamics and mechanics of animal tissue development.
