Jonathan Thon,
Assistant Professor
Dr. Thon is an Assistant Professor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and a Co-Founder of Platelet BioGenesis. Jonathan earned his B.Sc. in Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering from McMaster University; and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of British Columbia, Canada, where he worked closely with Canadian Blood Services for the improvement of the processing and storage of blood platelets. Dr. Thon’s research is focused on developing bio-mimetic microfluidic platforms to generate functional platelets and new targeted therapies for thrombocytopenia. This work led to the co-development of Platelet BioGenesis’ human platelet bioreactor that reproduces key features of adult bone marrow to trigger new platelet production at clinical scale.
