Jasper Hsu is an immuno-oncology scientist and doctoral candidate at the Salk Institute with eight years of translational research experience studying how glycans like CA19-9 remodel the pancreatic tumor microenvironment. He combines expertise in GEMM models, organoid co-cultures with macrophages and fibroblasts, and cellular reprogramming approaches to model clonal evolution in myelodysplastic syndromes. Prior roles at Caltech, USC and City of Hope reflect a strong bioengineering foundation—ranging from non-canonical amino acid incorporation in insulin to “myocardial infarction on a chip” platforms. Based in San Diego, Jasper bridges mechanistic cancer biology with engineered model systems, and his work has informed both disease modeling and therapeutic insight. An underappreciated strength is his interdisciplinary fluency across biomaterials, organoid biology, and immunology, enabling practical translation from bench models to clinically relevant hypotheses.
