Sarah Delaney is an American chemist who is a professor and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Brown University.[1] Her research investigates DNA damage and how it is related to human disease.[2]

Early life and education[edit]

Delaney was an undergraduate student at Middlebury College, where she majored in chemistry, researching cisplatin anti-cancer analogs.[citation needed] She moved to the California Institute of Technology for graduate research, where she worked alongside Jacqueline Barton on the role of DNA in charge-transfer reactions. In particular, she investigated whether the helical stack of base pairs in the double helix impact charge transport.[3]

Research and career[edit]

After her PhD, Delaney was appointed a Damon Runyon postdoctoral fellow with John Essigmann at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,[4] where she studied the mutagenicity of oxidized guanine lesions. Delaney has studied how DNA damage is related to human disease. At Brown University she serves as a professor of chemistry. In 2019. she was made director of graduate studies, and she implemented peer mentoring and regular advisor meetings for first year students, a journal club, a coffee hour and a weekly colloquium.[5] She was made senior associate dean of academic affairs for the graduate school in 2022.[5]

Awards and honors[edit]

Selected publications[edit]

  • Long-range DNA charge transport[9]
  • Oxidative damage by ruthenium complexes containing the dipyridophenazine ligand or its derivatives: a focus on intercalation[10]
  • A New Equation for Calculation of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Patients With Normolipidemia and/or Hypertriglyceridemia[11]
