Where We Are Today

Anchored by that long-term goal of replicating milk, TurtleTree is accelerating towards that destination by first recreating nutritious milk proteins like bovine lactoferrin. Powering that development is our precision fermentation technology, our offices and research facilities in Singapore and the US, along with a team that draws its expertise from every corner of the world.

TURNING SCIENCE
TO sustenance

Aided by precision fermentation technology, we use microbes to produce lactoferrin, a dairy-based functional ingredient that can enhance everyday food products and so much more.
