SmolkeDr. Smolke is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. She conducted her graduate training as a National Science Foundation Fellow at UC Berkeley and conducted her postdoctoral training as a National Institutes of Health Fellow in Cell Biology. She has pioneered a research program focused on developing foundational technologies for the design and construction of engineered ligand-responsive RNA-based regulatory molecules, their integration into cellular computation and signal integration strategies, and their reliable implementation into diverse cellular engineering applications. These technologies allow regulation of targeted gene expression levels.Dr. Smolke has been recognized with the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, a Beckman Young Investigator Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, World Technology Network Award in Biotechnology, and has been listed as one of Technology Review's Top 100 Young Innovators in the World.She is a USC alumna of the Chemical Engineering Department!
