Jonathan Fior was born in Los Angeles, USA, in 1982, to Italian parents. Jonathan’s parents moved back to Italy when he was a child, and he completed his education in Italy, a country known for its excellence in the education department. He was always fascinated by science and graduated with a bachelor's degree in medical biotechnology from the University of Milan, Italy. He immediately started working in the field of HIV research, with the goal of bringing innovation to the field. In this regard, he conceived the idea of using irradiated SupT1 cells as a decoy target for HIV-1 to prevent CD4+ T cell depletion as well as to render the virus less cytotoxic. Jonathan explored this approach in an in vitro setting in his 2012 publication, proposing SupT1 cell infusion as a possible cell-based HIV therapy. He then wanted to explore this novel therapeutic approach in an in vivo setting. Given the lack of public funding opportunities in Italy, he decided to start his own research company to support the research through private investor funding and founded Innovative Bioresearch in 2014. Notably, he also personally funded the research with the profits he made working as a stock trader, with great success. He later conducted a groundbreaking pilot study exploring SupT1 cell infusion therapy for HIV in humanized mice, and was the first research scientist to believe in the potential of blockchain technology to disrupt pharma, issuing INNBC (InnovativeBioresearchCoin) in 2018. He is also the author of what can be considered the most comprehensive scientific paper on the Salamander regeneration process, how it compares with human healing, and how it can be a model for developing novel regenerative and anticancer therapies. Jonathan Fior believes that "it does not matter whether it’s working on an HIV cure, analyzing the stock market, or fixing cars; a great intellect must be flexible enough to handle any given task". Other than science, one of his biggest passions is JDM sport cars from the 90s, such as Skylines and Supras, which led him to get involved in the JDM tuning community. He also created a webseries, "Skyline Garage," dedicated to the JDM legend car Nissan Skyline GTR and involving mods, JDM car meets, and other car related stuff; Jonathan was even featured by the official Nissan Italy social media accounts to advertise their supercar brand, the Nissan GTR.
