Levur

Scale Up

Levur produces natural-identical oils, without the environmental impact. Our vision is a future where reliance on unsustainable plant and animal oils like Palm Oil or Tallow is drastically reduced, mitigating environmental impacts. From our base in Australia, we are collaborating with large consumer goods manufacturers to make this a reality at scale and ensure ethical alternatives are available to consumers around the world.

Team

Tom Collier

CEO and Co-Founder

Scientist-turned-entrepreneur, dedicated to replacing unsustainable plant and animal oils with innovative alternatives.

Through my academic journey at Macquarie University, I've honed my expertise in Synthetic Biology, specialising in high-throughput methods for yeast-based lipid production. I founded Levur to bring this technology to the world and currently serve as CEO alongside a small but brilliant team, both in and out of the lab. Levur harnesses the power of nature to produce sustainable replacements for environmentally damaging ingredients like palm oil.

Beyond research and building Levur, I'm actively involved in the Synthetic Biology community. I contribute to the Synthetic Biology Australasian (SBA) society and the Australian Synthetic Biology Challenge (ASBC), where I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of researchers.
