Congratulations to our 2023 Service Recognition Honorees!

Drexel University celebrates the dedication of faculty, professional staff and retirees who have achieved significant service milestones — in five-year increments — during their careers at Drexel. This year's 602 honorees represent over 8,000 years of combined service to the University.

 

Janet D. Smith headshot50-Year Honoree Spotlight: Janet D. Smith

Janet D. Smith, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy at Drexel University College of Medicine. She teaches Gross Anatomy and Microscopic Anatomy in the first-year curriculum and has been with the College of Medicine and its predecessor institutions since 1973.

Dr. Smith's 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 Cancer Research, where her work focused on the replication of Friend leukemia virus. Dr. Smith has also done sabbatical studies at Cambridge University in England, where she was involved in cloning the genome of human cytomegalovirus.

She is the recipient of numerous teaching awards, including many Golden Apple Awards from medical students, the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching in the Basic Sciences and the Angelo Pinto Basic Science Educator Award.
