Jonathan Rothbard, PhD
About
For decades, Jonathan Rothbard has worked at the highest levels of medical science — from doctoral research at Columbia University to cancer drug development at Stanford and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. His career has been devoted to a single pursuit: understanding, at the molecular level, how disease works and how to stop it.
Today, he brings that same depth of knowledge to individuals and families navigating complex, high-stakes medical decisions. When a diagnosis arrives, most people face an overwhelming flood of clinical language, treatment options, and competing advice. Jonathan sits with them — as a scientist, as a translator, as a guide — and helps them truly understand what they are facing and what their real options are.
This is not general health advocacy. This is rare scientific expertise, brought to bear on your specific situation, at the moment it matters most.
What Jonathan Offers
Understand precisely why a drug or protocol is being recommended — the biochemistry, the mechanism, the evidence — not just the summary.
Assess whether a trial is genuinely promising for your situation, what the compound is, and what realistic expectations look like.
Join medical appointments or consultations by phone or video, helping you ask the right scientific questions in the room.
Review diagnoses, treatment plans, and pathology reports with a scientist's eye — before you commit to a course of action.
Background
Doctoral training at one of the world's leading research universities, establishing deep expertise in molecular and medicinal chemistry.
Multiple research projects over many years at Stanford University, contributing to the foundational science of drug development and disease mechanisms.
Research into cancer therapeutics at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, working to understand how novel compounds can be developed into life-saving treatments.
The science that took a lifetime to learn can now be put to work for the people who need it most — at the moments that matter most.
