EvoEnzyme, S.L. is the first Spanish Company specialized in the design of enzymes by directed evolution for various biotechnological applications.

Our scientific background stems from the academy (Miguel Alcalde Laboratory, Institute of Catalalysis CSIC, Spain), which has been working for over two decades in developing novel strategies for applied biocatalysis and protein engineering by directed evolution.

At EvoEnzyme we work closely with our clients, seeking efficient solutions to their problems by designing robust and versatile enzymes for applications  in the chemical, pharmaceutical and environmental fields.
