Codex

Canadian-born of Czech parents, raised in both Europe and Canada, fluent in five languages with a Ph.D. from Stanford University (U.S.), Dr. Barbara Paldus considers herself a global citizen.  As a scientist, she believes in data and biotechnology. Codex Beauty was conceived from a need to deliver high-efficacy, clinically proven skincare collections that defy the mainstream with plant-based biotech ingredients.

 

Barb is also an investor, entrepreneur, and inventor has been awarded 40 U.S. patents and numerous prizes in science.   She spent two decades leading innovation in spectroscopy, telecommunications, and biotechnology. By 34, she had founded two Silicon Valley companies that, among many breakthroughs, paved the way for carbon cycle/natural gas pipeline monitoring (Picarro), and accessible vaccine/cancer therapeutic manufacturing (Finesse Solutions, acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2017). Today, several COVID-19 vaccines are manufactured in equipment that her company Finesse developed and brought to market.
