Jonathan Milner becomes non-executive chairman of the board of directors at Nuclera




Jonathan Milner has joined Nuclera as the non-executive chairman of the board of directors.

Nuclera, the pioneer in bringing rapid protein prototyping to the benchtop, is at a significant point in its development, having recently announced partnerships with Google Cloud’s AlphaFold2 and AI partner DeepMirror.

These collaborations will further extend the capabilities of Nuclera’s eProtein Discovery software, enabling it to accelerate the start of the drug discovery process by more than 20 times, in turn saving companies millions of dollars every year.

Dr Milner, 58, is an experienced life science investor, and is passionate about the UK’s life sciences industry. Jonathan participated in Nuclera’s Series B financing round in 2021. As the founder and former CEO of Abcam – which he tried to regain control of last year, prior to the sale of the company to Danaher Inc – Dr Milner brings a wealth of experience to proceedings.

Michael Chen, CEO and co-founder of Nuclera, said: “We are thrilled to have Jonathan join the Nuclera team. He is a titan in the life sciences industry and we are delighted to have him on board as we grow from strength to strength. I look forward to working with him and sharing our ideas on how Nuclera’s technology can be best used to accelerate breakthrough improvements in human health.”

Dr Milner said: “Nuclera is pioneering a solution which has been long sought after. The ability to screen multiple protein expression and purification profiles and deliver reliable proteins in-hand in less than 48 hours will revolutionize laboratory workflows and make a demonstrable impact in terms of time to publish in academia and drug discovery timelines. I am delighted to join the Nuclera team as they bring the eProtein Discovery to the market.”
