Biography edit

Smith is native of Pennsylvania and studied chemistry as a National Merit Scholar at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (BS, 1973).[5] She continued her study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Ph.D., 1978) in structure in biology under Dr. M. Sundaralingam supervision.[6] she continued to do her postdoctoral work with Wayne Hendrickson at the Naval Research Laboratory as a National Research Council Research Fellow.

Research edit

Smith's research group focus on the understanding of proteins to the molecular level through structural biology. The main experimental technique employed in her lab is X-ray crystallography used to elucidate protein structures. Some of her research findings solved Crystal structures. Janet's lab has also worked towards method development for rapid structure determination.[7] Her lab contributed to the development of multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) used routinely for structure determination.[8]

Her research group have revealed the molecular structure of a protein produced by the Zika virus that is thought to be involved in the virus's reproduction and its interaction with a host's immune system.[9]

Award and Honors edit

  1. Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2007)[2]
  2. National Institutes of Health MERIT award recipient (1998–2008)[2]
  • Mildred Cohn Award in Biological Chemistry (2022)
