Patrick O. Brown, M.D., Ph.D., is founder and CEO of Impossible Foods. Pat founded Impossible Foods to replace the world's most environmentally destructive industry - animal farming - by making delicious, healthy and affordable meats and cheeses directly from plant ingredients. Pat is also a founder of Lyrical Foods, maker of Kite Hill nut-based cheeses, and the Public Library of Science, a nonprofit publisher that pioneered the open-access business model.
Pat was previously a Professor of Biochemistry and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Notable accomplishments of Pat's research group at Stanford included discovering the biochemical mechanism by which HIV inserts its genes into human cells, developing tools that for the first time enabled the expression patterns of whole genomes to be detected and profiled, and pioneering the use of gene expression patterns to improve classification, diagnosis and individualized treatment of human cancers. Pat is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine, and has been awarded the American Cancer Society Medal of Honor and the NAS Award in Molecular Biology.
