Graduate Student

Jeremy received his B.S. in Chemistry from Winthrop University, where he studied under Professor Christian Grattan developing novel pyrazole-based antimicrobial agents. Subsequently, he worked at Thermo Fisher Scientific in process development towards drugs for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis. Currently, his work in the Olson lab is focused on synthetic methodology for designing photoswitches, and investigating their applications as chemical tools in neurobiology.
