Chloe Fiveash is earning a Baccalaureate of Science in Chemistry with an emphasis in Biochemistry, as well as a minor in Biology. She is planning to graduate cum laude in June 2025.
Chloe is beginning to explore research options to pursue her interest in Pharmacology, specifically Pharmacokinetics or Pharmacodynamics. Her first exposure to the world of research was during the summer of 2022. The research experience was an independent internship characterizing the suitability of fipronil and fipronil sulfone with gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy in field mustard over a five-week growing period. To understand the health impacts of the insecticide, as well as fipronil’s ability to adhere to and be absorbed by field mustard. She ended the summer with her first publication on "The accumulation of fipronil and its degradation products in Brassica rapa” and presented it at the SOU McNair Summer Research Symposium June 21, 2022 - August 10, 2022, SOU Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program Summer Research Internship, under the supervision of: Dr. Chris Babayco Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
Chloe has spent many hours across Oregon lending a hand in community service activities. Chloe has spent 250 hours during the summer of 2020 volunteering at Mountain View Adult Foster Home as a caregiver. Gaining firsthand knowledge of the administration of medications, and their specific uses. She also has volunteered her time with SOU’s OSPRIG group for assisting voters with registration, as well as volunteering her time to clean up her local cemetery. She is also proud member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
Chloe had the honor of being featured on the 2020-2021 Southern Oregon University’s Bridge Program Brochure, as well as receiving the honor of being a Provosts for Southern Oregon University in winter term of 2021, as well as the spring term of 2022. Chloe’s education is being supported by the Churchill Freshman Scholarship that was received in 2020, as well as many Pell grants from the state of Oregon, the Crater Foundation Continuing Education scholarship funded by the Kellogg family and Oslurd family, the Ashland Rotary, and the Cordy Family.
After Chloe finishes her Baccalaureate of Science degree in Chemistry with an emphasis on Biochemistry, Chloe will be continuing her education by pursuing a doctoral degree in Pharmacology and Naturopathy with an emphasis in Biomedical synthesis as well as Pharmacokinetics or Pharmacodynamics. She is excited to explore the synthetic world of pharmacology, and to further her research in the biomedical field.
McNair Faculty Mentor: Dr. Ashley Robart, Assistant Professor of Biology and Dr. Chris Babayco Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
