ZOE - food research company
My Story
ZOE is a health science company that believes nothing is more important than the food we eat. As it happens, the word "Zoe" actually means “Life” in Greek.
The founders of ZOE, Prof. Tim Spector, Jonathan Wolf and George Hadjigeorgiou collectively believe that our bodies all respond differently to food, and this helped to form their company's purpose, which is to help people better understand their bodies and the food they consume.
25 years ago, their journey started, when Tim started his study of 13,000 twins, looking at genes, gut microbes and lifestyle.
He was astonished, to discover that even identical twins, who share all their genes, have very different responses to the same foods. So, he concluded that there is no one right way to eat, but the key lies in understanding your biology.
In 2019, ZOE was born, when Tim joined forces with Jonathan and George, whose background are in artificial intelligence and consumer apps., together with nutrition researchers, from leading academic institutions. They published, multiple peer-reviewed papers], in some of the most important scientific journals, such as Nature Medicine.
