معرفی
Dr. Ashley Ross is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati, where she leads research in bioanalytical chemistry. She holds a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Virginia (2014) and a B.S. in Chemistry from Christopher Newport University (2009). Her research group focuses on developing electrochemical methods and microfluidic platforms to study neuro-immune communication.
Research interests include: (1) Developing electrochemical sensors for neurotransmitter detection in brain and immune systems; (2) Designing novel carbon nanomaterials for enhanced electrochemical sensing; (3) Creating microfluidic organ-on-chip platforms for studying neuro-immune interactions. Her work bridges analytical chemistry, neuroscience, and immunology.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on advanced electrochemical sensing techniques, novel carbon nanomaterial development, and microfluidic platforms for neurochemical analysis. Research consistently addresses real-time monitoring of neurotransmitters and neuroimmune interactions.
