Jonas Donner, PhD
Since receiving his doctorate in 2012, Jonas has worked at the forefront of canine genetic testing—shaping the future of personalized pet care and veterinary medicine through state-of-the-art genetic tests. Inspired by the Finnish tradition of studying disease in isolated populations, his research interests include exploring the distribution and prevalence of inherited diseases and traits in dogs and cats across breeds. Jonas also belongs to the dog breeder community, as he and his wife actively breed Shetland Sheepdogs.
