Jason P. Ware, Ph.D. (he/him)

  • Postdoctoral Researcher, Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program, School of Medicine
  • Member, CEDAR, OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, School of Medicine

Biography

Jason Ware is a researcher working in CEDAR using microfabrication techniques to develop novel devices that harness electrokinetic isolation and electrochemical analysis to advance diagnostic technology for cancer early detection. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Portland in 2021, where he conducted research in organometallic synthesis and analytical chemistry. He then received his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from OHSU in 2025. Jason's research interests include nanofabrication, automation, and point-of-care liquid biopsy technology development.
