Erin Smith

Erin Smith is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, operating under the College of Sciences. Her expertise lies in Biochemistry, Cellular Biology, and Molecular Biology.

Education
• Ph.D. in Biochemistry (2010), Boston University School of Medicine
• Master's/Degree in Biochemistry (2000), Northeastern University

Her research focuses on the interactions between fibronectin and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in cellular migration processes, particularly during mesendoderm development. This work bridges biochemical mechanisms with cellular and molecular biology, aiming to elucidate the structural and functional roles of extracellular matrix components in developmental biology and potential disease relevance.
