Our Vision
Our Mission
Sustain Singapore’s attractiveness as a global innovation hub for FMCG and ingredient solutions companies.
Support national priorities in bioeconomy, food resilience, and healthy longevity.
Our Strategic Pillars
Our two strategic pillars connect sustainable ingredient innovation with nutrition and digestive health—building the science and evidence needed to deliver meaningful solutions for consumers in Asia.
STRATEGIC Pillar 01
Create high-value bio-based ingredients through strain and enzyme engineering, then develop scalable processes that move promising technologies towards manufacture.
Engineer microbial cell factories and novel pathways for high-value ingredients using data-guided design, genome engineering and automated construction.
Discover, screen and optimise enzymes through high-throughput experimentation, molecular modelling and machine-learning-enabled automation.
Build scalable, economical processes from laboratory development to pilot validation and industry transfer, including recovery and purification.
STRATEGIC Pillar 02
Develop consumer-driven, science-backed solutions by connecting food and sensory science with microbiome, digestive physiology and human nutrition research.
Understand oronasal sensory physiology, flavour and aroma perception to design products that consumers enjoy and adopt.
Design food structures that control flavour, aroma and nutrient release for targeted consumer and health outcomes.
Study chewing, appetite, ingestive behaviour and cognition through sensory and experimental nutrition research.
Use gut microbiome and multi-omics data to discover biomarkers, ingredients and responder-specific opportunities.
Evaluate ingredient and product performance using dynamic in vitro gut models such as SHIME® and in silico modelling.
Translate insights through consumer research, cohort studies and clinical intervention studies in Asian populations.
Applications
Our strain, enzyme and bioprocess capabilities support applications across health, nutrition, consumer products, food, materials and industrial biotechnology.
Integrated Across the Value Chain
From raw ingredients and ingredient solutions to consumer products and validated health outcomes.
