Abbi E. Smith conducts biomedical research spanning nerve-related tumors (such as neurofibromatosis and schwannomas) and cell signaling pathways involved in development and disease. Recent work has focused on the Hedgehog signaling pathway, including the Smoothened protein and its role in bone biology, osteoarthritis, and the effects of cholesterol and genetic mutations. The research combines molecular biology, evolutionary analysis, and clinical medicine topics.
