“I'm passionate about making science work for people. At Paleo, I guide our proteins from concept to table, navigating complex regulations to make sure they’re safe and sustainable. It’s meaningful to be part of something that can really make a difference.”

Antonio Gonzalez - Regulatory Scientist

“After 20 years in pharma and diagnostics, I was ready for a new challenge. Joining Paleo gave me the opportunity to unite purpose and passion - working on meaningful innovation while exploring my love for food and the vibrant vegetarian landscape.”

Tine Doyen - Bioprocess Contract Manufacturing Lead

“Myoglobin is a fascinating protein - one of the first ones that got a Nobel Prize, a long time ago. I enjoy tackling the analytical challenges it brings and making sure that precision-fermented Paleo Myoglobin is clean, healthy and active. What matters to me is that this activity also helps create tasty food that’s affordable for people and better for the planet.”

Achim Treumann - Analytics Lead

"Research is like a treasure hunt. You change one variable, and you observe the impact on others. Does it bring me closer to the golden egg? I chose a quest in the fascinating world of microbes, such as yeast. Each individual microbe acts as a cell factory, capable of offering us any solution. If only we are smart enough to harness it..."

George Kapetanakis - Strain Engineering Lead

"As a young adult, I felt I had lost a connection with our food. Where did what I ate come from? How did it come about? I decided to delve into the world of food and chose to explore alternative proteins. As a trained food engineer, I’m now leading Paleo’s food science team, contributing to bringing the world honest, healthy, and sustainable foods with an amazing authentic taste."

Isabel Paz - Food Science Lead

"Working on wine, beer, and cheese for a living? Choosing fermentation as my professional path was self-evident. In fact, whiskey was the first product I ever worked on, only to realize that the actual groundbreaking work needed to be done elsewhere. In the quest for healthy and tasty plant-based foods for my own family, I find my work at Paleo to be tangible, promising, and, most importantly, so needed!"

Ludovic Duminuco - Fermentation Lead

"Working on proteins and DNA, I knew how to do. Attempting to address global challenges, this was new! With a passion for genetic research and computational biology, I shifted my focus from human health to plant-based proteins. Finally, I found myself working on a tangible product. At Paleo, I sensed the potential to not only impact the well-being of individuals but also to change the entire world!"
