Jonathan Merril

Jonathan is student at the University of Chicago pursuing biology and economics, so that he can better understand the medical field through the perspective of businesses. He has particular interest in biotechnology business, and hopes to pursue this field during and after serving in the U. S. Army. When not studying or in training, he enjoys running and digital music. Jonathan only truly realized the importance of spine health when his mother had back surgery, seeing how much proper treatment gave “back” her life inspired him to pursue opportunities at the Foundation. Jonathan previously served as a a Digital Media Intern, and having seen the amazing work that the team does firsthand, is excited to return as an Undergraduate Research Fellow.
