Frederick A. Villamena's research focuses on developing chemical tools and probes to detect and study reactive molecules (like free radicals and reactive oxygen species) in biological systems, using a technique called electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. This work involves designing new molecules, such as nitrones and trityl radicals, that can trap or react with unstable chemical species to reveal information about oxidative stress and cellular chemistry relevant to health and disease.
