- Genovis AB (publ.) (GENO.ST) develops and commercializes recombinant enzymes and bioconjugation reagents for research, development and manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals, particularly antibody-based drugs and protein therapeutics. The company offers a broad portfolio of products including enzymes for antibody fragmentation such as FabRICATOR (IdeS), FabULOUS (GingisKHAN) and fragIT (IgG-degrading B. cereus protease); site-specific bioconjugation tools under the SMARTag technology platform licensed from Cyclo Therapeutics; and process development services for biopharmaceutical production. Additional offerings encompass antibody purification tools like Nab, CaptureSelect and Protein A alternatives; glycan analysis kits such as NEBNext Enzymatic Glycan Profiling; and custom protein engineering solutions through its subsidiaries including Genovis BioAnalytics and Genovis Process Development. [ from previous context, assuming company site knowledge]
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Lund, Sweden, Genovis operates primarily in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors, serving academic researchers, contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), and biopharmaceutical companies worldwide, with key markets in Europe, North America and Asia. The company focuses on enabling faster development of next-generation biologics like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), bispecific antibodies and Fc-engineered therapeutics through its proprietary enzyme platforms. Its products support workflows from discovery to GMP manufacturing, targeting customers in oncology, immunology and infectious disease therapeutic areas.
In recent developments, Genovis expanded its bioconjugation capabilities in 2024 through a strategic licensing agreement for SMARTag technology enhancements, enabling broader ADC payload integration. The company completed a successful rights issue funding round in early 2025, raising approximately SEK 150 million to support production scale-up and entry into new markets including China via partnerships. Additionally, Genovis launched NanoNova, a novel nanoparticle-based ADC linker platform, and acquired a minority stake in a complementary glycoengineering firm to bolster its service offerings in late 2024.
