Senior🎓
Top SchoolGillian Smith is a Sr. Research Associate and bioengineering researcher with over a decade of hands-on experience spanning viral wet lab work, mass spectrometry-based proteomics and lipidomics, molecular dynamics, and bioinformatics. She has led student teams to isolate, annotate, and clean hundreds of novel mycobacteriophage samples and developed novel methods to infer protein function by comparing GROMACS simulations to known protein behaviors. At Purdue she combined quantitative coding and NVivo qualitative analysis to advance both biological discovery and STEM education research, and now applies that interdisciplinary skillset at Gilead Sciences. Comfortable mentoring and translating complex data into actionable experiments, she brings a pragmatic mix of bench skill, computational rigor, and teaching experience to collaborative research efforts.
