Jonathon Ditlev is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto and a Scientist at the Molecular Medicine Program at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) Research Institute. He obtained his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Calvin College in 2003 and later earned his PhD from the University of Connecticut Health Center in 2012. Ditlev completed his postdoctoral fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center. His research focuses on the biophysical mechanisms and functional consequences of biological phase separation and neuronal signal transduction. He studies the role of biomolecular condensates and membrane receptors in cell signaling, particularly how phase separation regulates cellular organization and local actin rearrangement. His work combines biophysical analysis, biochemical reconstitution, and cell biology to investigate how the composition of biomolecular condensates dictates their function. Ditlev has published studies that elucidate the critical role of phase separation in signal transduction and cellular processes, including research published in Science and ELife.
