Research & Development Services

From Discovery to Production

Our R&D services allow to discover and optimize novel enzymes and proteins, optimize existing ones or improve production strains and bioprocesses for the efficient production of the target molecules. We conduct R&D on our own enzyme products and incubator projects as well as on customized biosolutions, such as value-added products or sustainable industrial processes.
