Christy Lynn Haynes (born July 31, 1977) is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota. She works at the interface of immunology, materials science, chemistry and toxicology.

Early life and education

Haynes was born in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1977.[1] She earned a Bachelor's in Chemistry at Macalester College, which she graduated in 1998. She moved to Northwestern University for her postgraduate studies, completing a Master's in 1999 and a PhD in 2003. Her dissertation, "Fundamentals and applications of nanoparticle optics and surface-enhanced Raman scattering", demonstrated how Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy could be used as a small molecule biosensor.[2][3] She was awarded the Northwestern University prize for Excellence in Graduate Research in 2002.[4]

Research

After her PhD, Haynes worked with Mark Wightman as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[5] Here she worked on microelectrode amperometry to study single-cell exocytosis.[5] Haynes joined the University of Minnesota in 2005 as an assistant professor.[6] Her lab, the Haynes Research Group, apply analytical chemistry and nanomaterials to biomedicine, ecology and toxicology.[7] Nanoparticles are increasingly being used in manufacturing, which will result in them ending up in the ecosystem with unknown consequences.[8][9] The Haynes group look to determine the molecular design rules for nanoparticle toxicity, through material design and fabrication and characterisation both in the lab and in the food web.[9][10][11] They characterise chemical messenger synthesis and exocytosis using laser spectroscopy and microelectrochemistry.[5] In 2012 her group were the first ever to successfully isolate individual blood platelets.[12][13] In 2013 her research was discussed on Minnesota Public Radio.[14] She was appointed a professor in 2014, and is currently the associate Head of Department of Chemistry.[7] She has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles in scientific papers.[15]

In 2017 she delivered a TED talk, "Nanomaterials are everwhere; how do we make them safe?".[16][17] In 2018 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, which enables her to work in the Technical University of Valencia characterising nanomaterials in an environmental matrix.[18][19] She is a lead presenter for the University of Minnesota Energy and U program, which brings over ten thousand third grade students to her campus each year.[19] Haynes is an advocate for increased diversity in the chemical sciences.[20] She takes part in outreach activities to encourage young people to consider careers in chemistry.[21]
