The Healthcare Technology Report is pleased to announce The Top 25 Healthcare Technology CTOs of 2022. Chief Technology Officers are indispensable to the success of companies operating in the healthcare technology space. Not only do they oversee teams comprised of engineers, software developers, chemists, scientists and others, but they enable their management teams to pursue some of the most advanced technological visions, while setting the path for research & development and ultimately shepherding innovations from idea to market. The companies represented on this list deliver a variety of solutions, from software to medical devices to virtual care, but what they have in common is the backbone of revolutionary technology supporting them.

This past summer, the U.S. Digital Corps selected Jonathan Hart, San Diego Mesa College Alumnus spring ’22, to be a part of the inaugural cohort of the U.S. Digital Corps. The U.S. Digital Corps is a new program that was launched last year by the White House to bring civic-minded early-career technologists to serve in the federal government. Jonathan will spend the next two years working as a data scientist at the State Department leveraging data and technology in innovative ways to implement the Department’s Enterprise Data Strategy (EDS) and data informed diplomacy.
Jonathan has taken a non-traditional path in becoming a data scientist. Originally trained as a biochemist, he studied data science to understand the deluge of data coming from next-generation sequencing and proteomics experiments.
As a staff scientist at a research facility, he supported researchers’ genomics experiments to yield insights into oncology research. In addition, he has developed hardware and software infrastructure and data pipelines to efficiently mine the mountain of publicly-available cancer datasets to discover new regulatory genes. His research has been published in leading journals and presented at major conferences.
In addition to research, Jonathan enjoys teaching and has had the opportunity to mentor several aspiring scientists through Scripps’ high school internship program. Jonathan earned a B.S. from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and a Ph.D. from Caltech, both in Chemistry. He was the recipient of a National Cancer Institute Research Specialist Award grant and is a member of the American Association for Cancer Research. A lifelong learner, he has recently graduated with an A.A. in Chinese from Mesa College and continues to learn Chinese.
With a Liberal Arts and Sciences Degree in Chinese from Mesa College, you will satisfy your necessary transfer requirements and gain a thorough education in Mandarin Chinese. Embark on a course of language study that helps you improve your written and spoken fluency, and gain the skills you need to sensitively engage with Chinese culture. By learning about the history and use of the Chinese language, you will gain key insights into China’s philosophical, political, and social dynamics, as well as the country’s rich literary tradition and global influence.
