Exploring New Frontiers in Neurochemical Detection
Along the Gut-Brain-Immune Axis
Dr. Ashley Ross, University of Cincinnati

Ashley Ross is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati and faculty in the Neuroscience Graduate Program. She earned her Ph.D. in 2014 from the University of Virginia under the guidance of Dr. Jill Venton. She completed her post-doctoral training in Dr. Rebecca Pompano’s lab at the University of Virginia where she was an American Association of Immunology Careers in Immunology Fellow. She began her independent career at UC in 2017. Her research interests are diverse including fundamental investigations into the mechanisms of neurochemical adsorption at electrode surfaces, studies of the mechanisms of neuroprotection during brain ischemia, and she has pioneered research measuring subsecond neuro-immune communication in the immune system. Ashley was recently named a “Top 40 under 40” in the Analytical Scientists, received an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, and was awarded the Emerging Investigator Lectureship Award by the Analyst. Her lab has received funding from the NSF CAREER, the NIH, and from the RCSA.  She currently serves on the Advisory Board for the Analyst, RSC Chemical Reviews, a member of the Board of Directors for the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry, and is a member of the scientific advisory board for the International Society of Monitoring Molecules in Neuroscience.
