Ron June Ph.D.
Dr. June received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from UC Davis where he studied cartilage viscoelasticity. He then completed postdoctoral studies first at the San Diego Veterans Administration Hospital, and then at UCSD where he studied molecular cell biology and drug delivery. Dr. June was recruited to Montana State University in 2011 where he started his independent lab. His laboratory pioneered metabolomic profiling of musculoskeletal systems, and has developed metabolite extraction and analysis protocols that have been used in laboratories across the world. His lab has received competitive funding from NIH, NSF, and the DoD. His first startup company involved systems biology modeling, and Dr. June co-founded OpenBioWorks to provide metabolomic profiling services to the greater community. He is committed to advancing metabolomics to understand and improve human health. Dr. June looks forward to providing clients and partners of OpenBioWorks with improved insight into their systems and data to advance product development and improve human life.
