Early life and education
editDelaney 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
editAfter 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]
