About Jordan Koehn
I am a scientist and biotech R&D leader with a background spanning organic chemistry, molecular biology, genomics, and drug discovery. During my postdoctoral research at UNC Chapel Hill, I invented a sequencing-based technology for identifying where small molecules engage RNA in living cells. That work became the foundation of ForagR Medicines, which I co-founded in 2024.
Today, as Head of Platform & Chemical Genomics, I lead platform development and supervise scientists working on hit-to-lead drug discovery. I enjoy working with my team to solve difficult experimental problems, interpret results, and determine which research directions are worth pursuing.
