Jonathan Hirsch is the Founder and President of Syapse, a market leader in precision oncology solutions. Jonathan is dedicated to the Syapse vision of transforming healthcare through precision medicine. As President, he works closely with healthcare providers to create a robust software platform that brings together previously fragmented clinical, molecular, and outcomes data to help physicians make better decisions for their cancer patients. Jonathan works on catalyzing national cancer data sharing networks, including Oncology Precision Network (OPeN), and served on the White House Cancer Moonshot Data Sharing Working Group. In addition to his work at Syapse, Jonathan is the Chair of the Data Committee for GBM AGILE, a global initiative to find a cure for brain cancer.
