Analyst is delighted to announce the winner of our 2024 Emerging Investigator Lectureship, Ashley Ross. This Lectureship was launched to be a platform for an early career analytical scientist to raise the profile of the analytical sciences to the wider scientific community and general public.
Ashley is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati and faculty in the Neuroscience Graduate Program and Center for Pediatric Neuroscience. She earned her PhD in 2014 and completed her post-doctoral training at the University of Virginia where she was an American Association of Immunology Careers in Immunology Fellow.
She began her independent career in 2017. Her diverse research interests include fundamental investigations into how neurochemicals interact at electrode surfaces, investigating neuroprotection during ischemia, and studying neuro-immune signaling along the gut-brain-immune axis.
Professor Ross was featured in the Analytical Scientist’s 2022 “Top 40 under 40”, was named an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow in 2022, and has been recognized as an emerging investigator in several journals including Analyst, Lab on a Chip, and Chemical Communications.
Her lab has received funding from the NSF CAREER, the NIH, and from the RCSA. She currently serves on the Advisory Boards of Analyst, Chemical Society Reviews and ACS Electrochemistry, and is on the Board of Directors for the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry.
