Sarah Smith is an assistant professor working in Andrew Allen’s lab studying diatoms. Dr. Smith's research is motivated by the desire to understand the evolution and ecology of marine phytoplankton.
Sarah Lanman Smith (June 18, 1802 – September 30, 1836) was a 19th-century American Christian missionary, memoirist, and school founder. In 1835, she established the American School for Girls, which became the Lebanese American University. In 1830-1, Smith and Sarah Breed, established and conducted a Sunday school among the Mohegan.

More about Sarah Sarah is a published author and has a decade experience conducting research at The National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, University of Arizona and North Carolina State University. About the Author Sarah Smith is a copywriter turned author who wants to make the world a lovelier place, one kissing story at a time. Her love of romance began when she was eight and she discovered her auntie’s stash of romance novels. She’s been hooked ever.
Diatoms have emerged as an excellent group of model organisms for molecular oceanographic research. Her current research uses a combination of comparative and functional genomics approaches to explore both the evolution and molecular mechanisms of physiological regulation in diatoms. More specifically, she is investigating the architecture of gene regulatory networks in Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Ultimately insights from these studies will not only inform our understanding of the evolution of these important organisms and aid in the interpretation of functional genomics data in the lab and field, but will eventually guide efforts to engineer algae as a feedstock for the cultivation of renewable bioproducts such as sustainable biofuels.
Dr. Smith obtained her MS in Marine Science at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (2008) and PhD at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (2014). She was a postdoctoral scholar at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a visiting scientist at the JCVI.
