Smith-Carpenter, Jillian E. - Fairfield University

个人简介

Professor Smith-Carpenter received her BS in chemistry and environmental studies at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania in 2007. She then obtained her PhD from Washington University in St. Louis under the mentorship of Professor John-Stephen Taylor, focusing on the structure-activity relationships of G-quadruplex interloop photocrosslinking. In 2013 she joined the laboratory of Professor David G. Lynn as a postdoctoral research fellow at Emory University, where her research focus expanded to include self-assembling peptides. She joined Fairfield University as an Assistant Professor in 2015.

研究领域

Professor Smith-Carpenter is interested in exploring the rules and intermolecular forces that direct supramolecular assembly of biomolecules and how these structures are influenced by their environment. Her approach to designing responsive biomaterials highlights lessons learned from Nature by combining nucleic acid recognition with peptide environmental responsiveness to create dynamic self-assembly systems.
