But it wasn’t until Beck’s ovarian cancer diagnosis that the duo realized that reinventing silk in liquid form could replace harmful ingredients in skincare products and create a platform for entirely unique and biocompatible benefits across almost any industry. Safer for the human body—safer for anybody—safer for the planet.

Dr Gregory Altman
Co-Founder and CEO
A leading expert in natural silk biomaterials, Greg heads strategy and innovation at Evolved By Nature. His extensive research into silk’s biocompatibility with the human body led to the creation of his first company, Serica Technologies, where he and Dr. Rebecca Lacouture developed the first FDA-approved silk-based medical device for soft tissue reconstruction. This breakthrough technology was acquired by Allergan, where Greg served as Vice President of Research and Development and General Manager before co-founding Evolved By Nature in 2013. The inventor for several patents on clean silk technology, Greg holds a PhD in Biotechnology Engineering and BS in Chemistry from Tufts University. He is married to an environmental sociologist and is the proud father of two young boys.
