Advanced Platform Technology Center
Jonathan Baskin, MD
Research interests
Treatment of upper airway obstruction and sleep apnea, bone substitute materials for skeletal reconstruction, peripheral neuromodulatory therapeutics (including for the treatment of hypertension)
As a long-time member of the APT Center and the Center’s Associate Director for Translation, Dr. Jonathan Baskin is a fervent supporter of enabling scientific discovery in the laboratory to move through commercialization in support of novel and potentially groundbreaking diagnostics and therapeutics. Currently and for most of his professional career, he is a practicing Otolaryngologist (ENT) Head and Neck Surgeon with additional board certification in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, as well as Sleep Medicine. For over a decade, Dr. Baskin has led medical staff as a Section Chief at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. His academic appointments are at Case Western Reserve University Schools of Medicine & Engineering.
Dr. Baskin serves on the board of the Case Coulter Translational Research Partnership in the CWRU School of Engineering and the Case Western Reserve University’s Office of Technology & Innovation. His personal research has included designing and fabricating bone substitute materials developed for skeletal reconstruction but more recently has focused on the development of neuromodulatory therapeutics to treat disease. During multi-center trials, Dr. Baskin conducted FDA phase II and III surgical trials for the Inspire sleep technology at the Cleveland VA and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, respectively; an effort which led to FDA approval. He is currently working on developing an applied neuromodulatory approach to treating drug resistant hypertension, and with the Human Fusions Institute at CWRU on extending human reach by dramatically enhancing the human-machine interface.
