We have a vision of leading the new microbiome drug industry using special enzymes. Based on our diversified products formulated on enzyme/bio-healthcare ingredients, we would like to expand in bio-pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and medical foods further, and become a global leader in the Microbiome Therapeutics industry.

Our Science

Genofocus has fundamental technologies ranging from maximizing the enzyme efficiency up to technologies for enzyme production optimization.

GF library/screening and microbial surface display technique is a proprietary technology of Genofocus which enables mass production of high-purity proteins using microbial secretion system.

Our enzyme products are developed through molecular evolution using smart library generation and microbial display-based high throughput screening. With fungal and bacterial secretion systems, we custom produce the evolved enzyme products in large-scale fermentation and downstream processes.
