Who is Dr. Jeremy Koenig?
Dr. Jeremy E. Koenig's odyssey began in the stimulating corridors of academia, where he delved deep into the realms of biochemistry and molecular biology. His pursuit of a PhD was not just a quest for scientific knowledge, but a journey intertwining the intricate patterns of life at a molecular level with a lifelong dedication to philosophy.
His academic explorations took him through the complex landscapes of metagenomics, studying the infant and aging microbiome, and unraveling the mysteries of how these invisible communities influence our health from the cradle to the twilight years.
Transitioning from the academic to the industrial, Dr. Koenig ventured into the groundbreaking domains of fertility, longevity, and performance DNA, and pioneered the concept of DNA as a Service. This endeavour wasn't merely a career shift but a manifestation of his philosophy, merging empirical science with existential inquiry.
Dr. Koenig's work stands at the crossroads of non-overlapping magisteria, a testament to his belief that humanity is at a pivotal moment. As we grapple with the potential to outsmart our genes, he guides us through this labyrinth, not just as a scientist but as a philosopher and visionary, challenging us to choose our destiny wisely.

An internet pioneer who built his name on the same discipline and persistence that made him a professional athlete, Dre has never been one to do just one thing.
