Inside the UVA Dept. with 10,000 Students: Chemistry, under Dr. Jill Venton
Update: 2024-11-15
Description
This week, we dive into the heart of UVA’s chemistry department with Jill Venton, its chair and the Thomas Jefferson Professor of Chemistry. She tells us about the fascinating study and synthesis of the molecular building blocks of our universe: from star formation to nanoparticles for clean energy applications, and borrowing fluorescent molecules from fireflies to illuminate our own biological processes. We also discuss her lab’s research on brain chemistry and the future of neurochemical treatments for disease.
