Maxine Jonas is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She completed her undergraduate studies in France and earned her Ph.D. under the mentorship of Professor Peter, focusing on the design and optimization of a fluorescence-based microrheometer to quantitatively assess cellular viscoelasticity mechanics at nanometer to microsecond resolutions. Prior to joining MIT, she gained valuable experience in the biotech industry through positions at a start-up, BioTrove/BIOCIUS, and a large company, Agilent Technologies, where she worked for seven years. During her time in industry, she was involved in conceiving and maturing the manufacturing of automated robotics platforms interfaced with mass spectrometers, applying her work across fields such as biopharmaceutical drug discovery, clinical research, and quantitative proteomics. Since returning to MIT in 2013, she has been teaching lab-focused instrumentation courses and has also served as a Communication Lab fellow and scientific mentor in Sandbox, contributing to the creation of the Huang-Hobbs BioMaker Space at MIT.
