With more than 15 years of experience focused on transcription factors and nuclear receptors, Jon is truly excited to continue his TF journey with Flare.
Jon brings 17 years of pre-clinical drug discovery experience with projects focused on both small molecule and antibody modalities. His roles have spanned multiple opportunities in big Pharma and an academia-industry drug discovery collaboration. Prior to joining Flare, Jon was leading a team focused on the discovery of novel PPARG inverse-agonists.
In his free time, Jon enjoys spending time with his ten-year-old. Jon is a passionate downhill skier, an emerging mountain biker, and a general lover of the outdoors. As a side hustle, Jon helped to launch a brewery, developing current offerings and recipes that are now distributed nationwide.
