Welcome to the website of the Lazenby Lab, established in August 2019 at the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the Florida State University (FSU). We are an electroanalytical chemistry lab at FSU, with research foci in:
- Electrochemical biosensing, including simultaneous multi-analyte detection using aptasenors.
- Electrocatalysis of industrially relevant reactions, such as the investigation of low cost transition metal carbides as electrocatalytic materials for the oxygen evolution reaction.
- Electrochemical imaging using scanned probe microscopy, including analytical method development for single cell analysis.
We are a collaborative and interdisciplinary research group, and currently have a team of PhD students (Amanda, Debashis, Yusuf, Ana and Justin) and undergraduate students (Renee, Matt, Michael, Mia and Olivia). We are seeking highly motivated graduate students to join us in our research efforts in Fall 2024. To enquire about these positions, or undergraduate research positions, please contact Dr. Lazenby via email about joining the lab.
