U of T Engineering Alumna Sofia Bonilla completed her PhD in our University of Toronto Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, having previously completed degrees in microbiology and environmental science. Her thesis focused on protein production, and she has since leveraged that expertise to become the founder and CEO of ALT-PRO, a company that is creating the next generation of pet food with clean and sustainable ingredients from insects, algae and fungi.
Dean Yip spoke with Bonilla about protein engineering, launching a startup and the future of sustainable pet food.
