Embriette Hyde Biography

When I was in elementary school growing up in small town Wayland Michigan I decided to obtain my PhD so that I could study and figure out why yawns are contagious. While I did eventually get that PhD I still don’t know why yawns are contagious! By the time I started my undergraduate degree at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) in Allendale Michigan I had decided that I wanted to work as a geneticist possibly a genetics counselor. I took classes during the summer semester so that I could learn all that I could about the field. Having a passion for traveling and for the Spanish language (my best friend is half Mexican) I decided to double major in Biomedical Science and Spanish. I studied abroad in Spain during my third year of undergrad pushing back a number of classes for my science curriculum while fulfilling the curriculum for my Bachelor of Arts degree.
Upon returning to the United States I reached out to a GVSU professor-Dr. Martin Burg-doing genetics work with fruit flies. We wrote a proposal together and I clinched a summer fund through the GVSU Student Summer Scholars Program for doing research in his laboratory. I continued working in the Burg lab until I graduated. Nevertheless it was during a basic microbiology course that was a requirement for the Biomedical Science degree-which I had pushed back due to my year abroad-that I fell in love with microbiology and my career goals took a sharp turn. I decided to obtain the microbiology emphasis option on my degree and graduated with the goal to combine my love for genetics and newfound passion for microbiology while pursuing my doctorate degree at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston Texas.
