Biography —
Anton Barybin is from Lawrence, Kansas, where he attended Lawrence Free State High School. At KU, he majored in chemistry with a concentration in biological chemistry. Anton developed a passion for neurochemical research after discovering current methods of neurodegenerative disease treatment. His work in Dr. Susan Lunte’s laboratory focused on the development of separation-based sensors for continuous in vivo monitoring of neurotransmitters. Ultimately, these sensors will yield a more comprehensive understanding of disease states while also providing a method for analyzing the effects of potential therapeutic drugs. Anton graduated from KU in May 2022 with a BS degree in Chemistry and is currently pursuing a PhD in chemistry at MIT focused on protein folding and evolution. His studies are being supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
