Novel carbon electrodes for neurochemistry

This webinar discusses the latest strategies in making customized carbon electrodes for neurotransmitter detection. Various carbon nanomaterials are reviewed, including carbon nanotube yarns and carbon nanospikes.

In addition, the presenter, Jill Venton, will examine how 3D printing can be used to make small, custom geometry carbon electrodes.

You will:

• Gain knowledge of how carbon electrodes are used and customized for neurochemistry applications.
• Learn about 3D printing of carbon micro and nanoelectrodes.
• Learn about carbon nanomaterials and how surface structure influences their electrochemical behaviour.

Dr B Jill Venton is professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia (UVA), US. She is also affiliated with the Neuroscience Graduate Program and UVA Brain Institute. She received her BS in chemistry from the University of Delaware, US; her PhD in chemistry from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US; and did postdoctoral research at the University of Michigan, US. Jill started her career at UVA in 2005 and became chair of the Department of Chemistry in 2019. The Venton Group’s research focuses on developing analytical chemistry tools for neuroscience research. The lab studies many neuroscience diseases, from Parkinson’s, to addiction, stroke and ageing.
