Congrats Dr Greatness Olaitan who successfully defended his PhD dissertation this week. His work developing focused ultrasound parameters to treat fentanyl addiction relapse has real translational potential in opioid abuse. Congrats Dr Olaitan!
Come teach @ChemistryUVA ! We have a teaching-track (general faculty) position open in Biochemistry. Our teaching faculty receive 3 year contracts, have the opportunity for promotion and are regarded as valuable colleagues. apply.interfolio.com/175929

We are excited to announce an opening in any chemistry area for Fall 2026 at the rapidly growing U of Arkansas. Apply by 15 Nov. Happy to chat with anyone. @Chemjobber uasys.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/…
I'm not able to travel at the moment, but my group is! You can catch amazing Venton lab posters this week at both the ACS meeting in DC and the International Society for Neurochemistry meeting in NY. Another group is down at Oak Ridge National Lab at CNMS.
Another exciting new direction in the Venton lab is modulating neurotransmission with Focused ultrasound (FUS). Led by Greatness Olaitan, and in collaboration with Wendy Lynch, we can now use noninvasive FUS to modulate a dopaminergic circuit

The Venton lab is getting into multiplexing. In this exciting new paper led by Kailash Shrestha and Yuanyu Chang, we multiplex FSCV detection of adenosine and dopamine with fluorescent iGluSnFR to understand adenosine neuromodulation

Best part of graduation : celebrating students and meeting families. Congratulations Venton lab graduates Kailash, Oliver, Haddesah and Meghan! @ChemistryUVA
Check out our latest manuscript in ACS Electrochemistry, detailing how to make electrodes from pyrolyzed parylene. First author He Oliver Zhao and noted ORNL collaborator Nick Lavrik are the brains behind this one.

Congrats to Dr. Kailash Shrestha and Dr. He Oliver Zhao. Both completed their PhD dissertation defenses this week! Two new Venton lab grads!
New Venton lab publication. In collaboration with the Ankeeva group at MIT-we tested multifunctional fibers, including for FSCV and fiber photometry.

Two great reads about three great teachers—a mother and son who both teach organic chemistry at UVA and the award-winning Cynthia Tong, whose passion for statistics has inspired countless students. news.virginia.edu/content/me…

We were doing lab clean-up today and I google how to dispose of glycerol and one of the first things the google AI lists is feed to cattle. Seemed a bit impractical. Google AI might have a little bit of way to go in lab safety.
Excited to be in Ulm to hear a lot of electrochemistry and meet a lot of European electrochemists at ESEAC.
