Biocatalysts for API Manufacturing

Solutions for the discovery, optimization, production, and scale up of biocatalysis and fermentation-based biomanufacturing of APIs.

Transform API Manufacturing with Biocatalysis

Enzymes enable sustainable active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) manufacturing through efficient, targeted biochemical reactions. Our proprietary enzyme database, combined with AI, unlock vast possibilities for optimizing biocatalysts for your specific needs. We screen and engineer in industry-leading expression hosts, including proprietary high-production strains of methanol-free Pichia pastoris. We support your full development journey—from novel enzyme discovery through production optimization and scale-up.

The initial success of this collaboration has led us to expand our joint efforts to design new ways of producing essential medicines, minimizing the environmental impact of antibiotic manufacturing. Moreover, as we design and execute our Open Innovation business model, this strategic collaboration creates synergies to accelerate the diversification of our portfolio, a strategic pillar for the future of our company. Access to external disruptive technologies, focusing on enzymes and fermentation, contributes to our vision to be a diversified and integrated partner of choice for generic medicines.
