Nicole M. Gerardo is an entomologist and Professor of Biology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] In 2021, she became editor of the Annual Review of Entomology.[2][3]

Early life and education

Gerardo earned a B.A. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Rice University in Houston, Texas in 1997.[1] She received her Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from the University of Texas at Austin in Austin, Texas in 2004.[1]

Career

Gerardo is an entomologist and Professor of Biology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] Gerardo's work focuses on evolutionary ecology, in particular the relationships between both beneficial and harmful microbes and their hosts. For example, aphids are supplied with nutrients by beneficial bacteria and may have lowered immunity to ensure that the relationship continues.[4][5][6][7][8] Her whole-genome analyses of insect species have revealed that the pea aphid appears to have lost the Imd pathway, considered a key immune pathway in many species.[9] Her work on the genetics of insect species has also revealed patterns of immune gene evolution of monarch butterflies.[10] Another of her areas of study involves fungal pathogens, fungus-growing ants and their gardens, which are regarded as a model of symbiosis.[11]
