III. She will first look for inflammatory responses to Factor VIII, and then see if they can be blocked by using a novel protein that inhibits such responses. This approach may decrease the occurrence of inhibitory antibodies that often interfere with an otherwise effective treatment for hemophilia."

Smith completed her undergraduate work at The University of Delaware, her doctorate at Montana State University and her postdoctoral training at The University of Michigan.
