Jorge Moll is the founder and Chief Science Officer of Paradox Science Institute, where he pursues a lifelong fascination with the frontiers of science and the nature of reality. As a founding member, he is deeply committed to pioneering rigorous scientific inquiry into non-ordinary psychological states, consciousness, and anomalous phenomena. Trained as an M.D. and neurologist, Jorge earned his Ph.D. in experimental physiology, becoming a leading researcher in functional imaging and human social and moral cognition, altruism, reward, and decision-making. His postdoctoral work at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) further expanded his work in cognitive neuroscience.

He later co-founded the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), a world-class biomedical research center in Brazil, where he serves as Chair of the Board. He was also a visiting researcher at Stanford University for several years and is currently a council member of the Stanford Interdisciplinary Council. Additionally, he co-founded the Pioneer Science Initiative, dedicated to expanding the boundaries of knowledge.

Jorge’s passion lies in exploring fundamental questions of existence through empirical science while fostering a culture of open, transdisciplinary inquiry. He believes that challenging conventional scientific paradigms can yield transformative insights at the crossroads of consciousness, neuroscience, and physics. Beyond research, he is a husband to a fellow neuroscientist and a devoted father of three. His curiosity extends to philosophy, artificial intelligence, space travel, science fiction, and the intersection of science and spirituality.
