Gareth R. Eaton

Gareth R. Eaton is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Denver, affiliated with the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. He holds the John Evans Professorship (1997) and has contributed extensively to Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) research.

• Ph.D., Inorganic Chemistry, MIT (1972)
• BA, Chemistry, Harvard College (1962)

His research focuses on EPR techniques (continuous wave, rapid-scan, pulse) applied to spin relaxation, metal ions in biological systems, and biomedical imaging. Collaborations span chemistry, physics, engineering, math, and oncology.

Recent publications highlight EPR advancements in biomedical imaging, spin relaxation studies, and instrument development, with applications in redox status monitoring, metalloprotein analysis, and environmental radical detection.

• Bruker Prize (2002)
• Fellow of the International EPR/ESR Society (2008)
• Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry

Eaton has mentored numerous advisees through collaborative research and teaching graduate inorganic chemistry courses. His grants emphasize instrument development and preclinical EPR imaging. He reviews for ACS and other journals and contributes to EPR education via lab workshops.
