Cheyenne R Smith, PhD

Dr. Smith specializes in field-based immunotoxicology with a focus on non-model species. Her work centers on advancing immune function methods to better understand the mechanisms behind disease and mortality in wild fish populations. Dr. Smith has developed a diverse skill set that includes cell culture, in vitro assays, laboratory fish care, imaging flow cytometry, transcriptomics, and advanced statistical analysis, all of which she employs to further her research in understanding immune responses and mitigating threats to aquatic life.
