Based in Edinburgh, I run a biotech company focusing on the development of next-generation food-as-medicine products that improve gut health.

About me

Dr. Anton Puzorjov is a scientist and an award-winning entrepreneur. He is an ex-founder of the social enterprise tech startup, One Cherry, which he developed from a mere concept to launch with its first customers in less than 12 months. Along the way, he garnered numerous accolades in startup competitions, including the Converge Challenge and Climate KIC. Dr. Puzorjov possesses a proven ability to establish organizations from the ground up and to inspire and lead teams towards the achievement of common goals. 

Academically, Anton holds a BSc in Biotechnology with Management, an MSc in Bioinformatics, and a PhD in Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology. His scientific credibility is underpinned by an array of publications in peer-reviewed journals.

Currently, Dr. Puzorjov serves as the CEO of his biotech company Quas Drinks, which is dedicated to improving people’s health by restoring the gut microbiome through what is currently the most concentrated and strain-diverse probiotic product available in the UK.

My organisation

Quas aims to help people in the industrialised world to reduce the risks of non-communicable chronic diseases, such as cancers, diabetes and allergies, by improving the gut microbiome through a cocktail of live probiotic bacteria delivered as an everyday delicious plant-based beverage. Our first line of kvass products contain over 500 billion live bacteria per serving from over 100 types of bacteria, making it the most concentrated and most strain-diverse probiotic product on the market in the UK today.
