Monica L. Ohnsorg

Monica is currently an NSF Graduate Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities co-advised by Professors Theresa Reineke and Frank Bates. Her research focuses on using bottlebrush polymers to increase the water-solubility of small-molecule pharmaceutics for oral drug delivery. In 2016, she received her B.S. in chemistry from Hope College. There, as a Beckman Scholar, she researched metal-organic framework thin films in the lab of Professor Mary E. Anderson and was awarded the 2016 ACS Undergraduate Award in Inorganic Chemistry. Outside the lab, Monica enjoys painting and hiking the shores of Lake Superior.
