Sarah Moore teaches and conducts research at the intersection of engineering and biology. Her research focuses on biomolecular engineering, primarily engineering proteins for applications in medicine. Current research in the Moore Lab includes engineering proteins for diagnosing and treating cancer, synthesizing protein-polymer conjugates for biomedical applications (collaboration with Maren Buck in Chemistry at Smith College), and developing methods to enable protein targeting ligands to deliver small molecule drugs.

Sarah joined the faculty at Smith College in 2012. Her Ph.D. research included engineering highly stable proteins for molecular imaging of cancer, for improved detection and surgical resection.  She has previously taught Engineering for Everyone; Fundamental Engineering Principles; Introduction to Biomedical Engineering; and Engineering and Cancer. Students who have conducted research in the Moore Lab come from a variety of majors, including engineering, biological sciences, biochemistry, chemistry, and neuroscience.

Whenever possible, Sarah enjoys spending time outside with her family, including hiking, cycling, backpacking, snowshoeing, and running.  You might see her around campus with her wonderful son, Michael.
