Working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, biosecurity, and technology governance. Building a verified researcher credential for accessing bio-capable AI models and the broader biotechnology stack.
Jonas Sandbrink is an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Sentinel Bio, where he is building a verified researcher credential for accessing bio-capable AI models and the broader biotechnology stack.
Previously, Jonas was among the founding technical staff of the UK AI Security Institute (then the Foundation Model Taskforce), which he joined in the run-up to the 2023 AI Safety Summit. He founded and built AISI's chemical and biological evaluations team, running pre-deployment testing of frontier AI models. He then started the Strategic Awareness team to prepare the UK government for advanced AI capabilities.
Before the Taskforce, Jonas researched synthetic biology and AI biosecurity risks at the University of Oxford, and advised the UK Cabinet Office, Google DeepMind, and the Nuclear Threat Initiative.
