Our Roots

Our journey began when Stephen Fleming and his co-founder, Ryan Dilger, began pioneering the use of cognitive tasks and magnetic resonance imaging to understand early life brain development.

In 2015, together they created a dedicated, high- throughput piglet rearing facility for the testing of nutritional products. What started as in interest in infant formula and brain development led to a broader interest in the role of nutrition and health. We created Traverse to get science out of the lab and on the market.
We like science and it doesn’t have to be hard. Let’s get science done, together.
