Lara Ramdin, Ph.D.

Sometimes known as the ‘The Upcycling Queen,’ Lara is not your typical science nerd. With a BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology from the University of Cardiff and a PhD in Immunology from the University of Southampton, Lara is masterminding turning yesterday’s food into tomorrow’s feast. In the world of #upcycledfoods, what was once ‘waste’ becomes ‘taste’ #zerofoodwaste.

Dr. Ramdin’s journey in the world of consumer packaged goods (CPG) is marked by significant tenures in R&D at some of the industry’s most influential companies – Unilever, Estee Lauder, Molson Coors, and the Dole Sunshine Company. This eclectic background has been instrumental in her current role, where she applies her vast experience to the challenges of food sustainability. Her work at Upcycled Foods Inc. is more than just a job; it’s a testament to her commitment to innovation and her vision for a more sustainable future in food.

Dr. Ramdin’s leadership in #upcycling is not just about creating new ingredients and products; it’s about inspiring a movement towards more responsible consumption and production.
