Congrats Dr Greatness Olaitan who successfully defended his PhD dissertation this week. His work developing focused ultrasound parameters to treat fentanyl addiction relapse has real translational potential in opioid abuse. Congrats Dr Olaitan!

I'm not able to travel at the moment, but my group is! You can catch amazing Venton lab posters this week at both the ACS meeting in DC and the International Society for Neurochemistry meeting in NY. Another group is down at Oak Ridge National Lab at CNMS.

Another exciting new direction in the Venton lab is modulating neurotransmission with Focused ultrasound (FUS). Led by Greatness Olaitan, and in collaboration with Wendy Lynch, we can now use noninvasive FUS to modulate a dopaminergic circuit

We have several other multiplexing projects just out or coming out. For a long time we've viewed the brain one neurotransmitter at a time, but using multiple techniques is allowing us to look at multiple neurotransmitters in real time simultaneously!

[Jill Venton @jventon]

The Venton lab is getting into multiplexing. In this exciting new paper led by Kailash Shrestha and Yuanyu Chang, we multiplex FSCV detection of adenosine and dopamine with fluorescent iGluSnFR to understand adenosine neuromodulation

Best part of graduation : celebrating students and meeting families. Congratulations Venton lab graduates Kailash, Oliver, Haddesah and Meghan! @ChemistryUVA

[Jill Venton @jventon]

Check out our latest manuscript in ACS Electrochemistry, detailing how to make electrodes from pyrolyzed parylene. First author He Oliver Zhao and noted ORNL collaborator Nick Lavrik are the brains behind this one.
