Jonathan is a Clinical Trial Manager at a global pharmaceutical company where he oversees clinical trials under the diabetes portfolio in Canada and the US, and ensures they are conducted safely at all participating clinics and hospitals. His experience in therapeutic areas including diabetes, obesity, cardiology, gastroenterology and dermatology has allowed him to work with a broad range of physicians and their diverse patients. He has also worked on various medicines that are currently on the market globally for patients to use.
Jonathan is passionate about solving health inequity issues and the lack of diversity in clinical trials. He hopes to implement programs where everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, will have access to clinics or hospitals and other resources to receive the care they need and participate in clinical trials that may benefit their health.
Besides from the US, Jonathan has also lived in Asia for 13 years and Europe for a summer. During his free time, Jonathan enjoys cooking, biking, spending time with his family and his dog, and discovering new spots for landscape photography.
