Arc Institute
Jonathan Schmok is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Arc Institute, starting in January 2024. Previously, Jonathan served as a PhD Student Researcher at the Yeo Lab at UC San Diego from September 2017 to November 2023, where the thesis focused on the systematic identification of RNA-binding proteins and tethered domains that activate exon splicing inclusion. Jonathan designed a novel dual-luciferase assay and conducted one of the first high-throughput screens to assess protein activation of exon inclusion, integrating functional genomics tools such as CLIP-Seq and Knockdown RNA-Seq. Additional experience includes research and teaching roles at the Pacific Parkinson's Research Centre, UBC Department of Computer Science, and UBC Biomedical Microdevices Group. Jonathan holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering from UC San Diego and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering from The University of British Columbia.

Arc Institute is a new scientific institution that conducts curiosity-driven basic science and technology development. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Arc is a non-profit organization founded on the belief that many important research programs will be enabled by new academic models. Arc operates in partnership with Stanford University, UCSF, and UC Berkeley. As individuals, Arc researchers collaborate across diverse disciplines to study complex diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and immune dysfunction. As an organization, Arc strives to enable long-term research agendas by betting on people rather than projects, and making it easier to invent and deploy new technologies at scale. Together, our mission is to accelerate scientific progress, understand the root causes of disease, and narrow the gap between discoveries and impact on patients.
