She is a health economist and a scholar of the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomics. Her research evaluates clinical, patient-centered, and economic outcomes of genomic medicine, primarily for newborn and pediatric patient populations, with the goal of informing efficient and ethical implementation of genomic technologies in clinical care. She is particularly interested in measurement of outcomes of genomic medicine, development and application of tools to measure utility in clinical genomics, and assessment of family-level impacts of genomic sequencing on health care utilization, costs, and well-being. Dr. Smith received a K99/R00 career development award from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to study the family-level utility of pediatric genomic sequencing using a patient-centered approach and decision science methods. She is the Project Director of the Precision Medicine Policy and Treatment (PreEMPT) model and a co-Investigator on the BabySeq Project, two NIH-funded research efforts that evaluate the impacts of newborn genomic sequencing. Additionally, she serves as a Section Editor for Economics and Precision Medicine at Genetics in Medicine.
