Background

About Jared Jones

I am a biochemist with extensive diabetes research experience combined with 15+ years working in the health care industry, including the last three years as a Director of Research at UnitedHealth Group (Optum Labs). My proof-of-concept research was foundational to the development of Level2, a new, innovative treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes. I am adept at designing and implementing proof-of-concept studies, quality improvement initiatives, and clinical trials to solve health care problems. I am a proponent of using a minimal viable product model (MVP model) in answering research questions thus optimizing the speed of discovery and savvy use of research assets. I am married, have three sons, love to ski, golf, mountain bike, and travel the world. In February 2022, I became a grandpa – priceless!
