About Jonathan Lawrence

I am a motivated and impactful research and development scientist. I have expertise in medicinal and synthetic chemistry, translating candidates from discovery into the clinic, and developing and executing clinical programs. I've led discovery projects, clinical development programs, individuals and departments, and influenced the scientific and strategic direction of companies -- across multiple therapeutic modalities. I am well-versed in building discovery platforms, assessing a program's scientific, commercial and clinical feasibility, and managing a company-wide portfolio. I am highly proficient at being able to tackle the small details as well as the big picture simultaneously. I keenly focus on the professional development of my reports, and actively craft a culture of innovation and collaboration for entire organizations. I have extensive experience and success in winning non-dilutive and dilutive funding awards. I have thrived in both established (>1000 employees) and start-up (<20 employees) biotech environments.
