Dr. Scott Shippy is a bioanalytical chemist whose research interested centers on advancing innovative methods and tools in chemical analysis applied to understanding chemical signaling in living organisms. In his more than 40 peer reviewed publications he describes micro- and nanofluidic sampling and chemical separations methods to track chemical changes relevant to neuroscience, ophthalmology and physiology. He received his B.S. in Biochemistry from Hope College and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His postdoctoral research was at the University of Ottawa (Ontario) in biopsychology/molecular medicine. As a member of the Department of Physical Sciences, he often teaches biochemistry, general chemistry and analytical courses. As a part of the First Year & Pre-Major Program he has taught the course, Don't Stress Out: A study of stress from molecules to thought.
