Paul Jaminet's Home

Greetings! Welcome to the personal site of Paul Jaminet. This site links to my various activities.

About Me

I am a scientist-scholar and serial entrepreneur.

I began my career as an astrophysicist (Ph.D. in physics, University of California at Berkeley, 1992; Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 1992-1996), became an Internet entrepreneur and executive in 1996 (exit 2001), then began to pursue a series of personal interests -- business strategy consulting and advising, research in the social sciences and moral philosophy, and learning how to be healthy.

When my wife Shou-Ching, then a researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, and her collaborator Hal Dvorak discovered a tumor-specific nuclear internalization pathway that we believed would enable development of curative therapies for solid cancers, we knew we had to start a biopharmaceutical company.

Angiex

In 2015, Shou-Ching, Hal, and I launched Angiex, Inc with seed funding from Peter Thiel. I currently serve Angiex as President and COO. Angiex is developing a novel drug class, Nuclear-Delivered Antibody-Drug Conjugates™, with the potential to generate curative therapies for malignant solid cancers of any site of origin. Angiex's lead drug, AGX101, will enter the clinic in 2021, and a pipeline of other drugs is following close behind.

Social Science: Relationship Economics

Relationship Economics is a generalization of Coasean transaction cost economics. It explains the economic growth process, patterns of social evolution, best practices in entrepreneurship and business management, and the solutions to many controversies.

Natural Health

As my wife and I reached middle age, we developed nagging health issues that we wanted to fix. In 2005, I adopted a low-carb Paleo diet, and immediately my energy, vitality, and sense of well-being improved; but after 9 months I began to notice some nutritional deficiency symptoms. I decided to delve into the scientific literature to learn how to "perfect Paleo" by finding the proportions among natural whole foods that optimize nutrition.

It took five years to find that optimized diet, and in 2010 I began to share my findings at the website PerfectHealthDiet.com and in the book Perfect Health Diet. Following upon the success of the book, we started a health retreat business, the Perfect Health Retreat, designed to prove the value of a complete program in natural health, with an optimized diet, environment, and lifestyle.
