Immobazyme is built around
a modular biotechnology platform.

We enable the rapid development and scalable manufacturing of recombinant proteins and enzyme-based solutions.

WHO WE HELP

Platform biotechnology lets one core capability solve many different problems.

Our platform is modular by design. Rather than reinventing the full development pathway for every project, we combine established technical modules, such as target selection, expression strategy, purification, and verification, into a development route tailored to each application.

​

This approach allows us to adapt to different technical requirements while maintaining consistency, reducing development risk, and improving speed to validated outcomes.

THE TEAM

LIKE MANY OF THE GREATEST IDEAS IN HISTORY,
THIS ONE BEGAN IN A CROWDED STUDENT PUB.

Group shot of Immobazyme's team.

In 2019, three friends sat down over a beer and started a conversation that became Immobazyme; a company built to use biotechnology and responsible manufacturing to advance science and industry in South Africa.

​

What began as an early idea quickly became a focused start-up, committed to making high-performance biologics and biomolecules more accessible by improving how they are developed and produced.

​

Today, Immobazyme has grown beyond its founding team into a multidisciplinary organisation working across food, cosmetics, industrial biotech, agriculture, and health—using precision fermentation to translate biology into scalable solutions.
