| Dr.
Smith received her BS in Biology from Bucknell University in 1967 and her
Ph.D. from Cornell University Graduate School of Medical Sciences in 1973.
Her thesis research compared the replication cycles of human
cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus in tissue culture systems. She
completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Sloan-Kettering Institute for
