The word “Amicogen” consists of the meaning of friend, “AMICO”
in Latin and of gene, “GENE”. We developed innovative biocatalysts
and proteins by applying our proprietary i DNA Evolution™ Technology.
We are a “Bioengineering company just like a Sincere Friend”
who contributes to the human health and the preservation of environment.
Amicogen Biotech R&D Center is expanding its R&D field based on
bio-platform technology, and researchers account for 30% of all employees.
We will lead the Industrial Biotechnology to develop new technologies
that can drive the development of humanity and society,
one step further than others.
Amicogen has developed Special Enzymes for industrial and pharmaceutical products based on the i DNA evolution™.
We want to contribute to the sustainable growth and lifelong health
of humanity by developing New Bio-Ingredientfor Health functional foods
with Special Enzymes and Protein Purification Resin.
As Amicogen started as a bio-venture company, we have focused on
the core competence of R&D and are pursuing sustainable growth
in innovative technologies and products. To increase the value
of enterprise and shareholder, we are continually strengthening our core competencies such as specialty enzyme business, healthcare, protein
purification resin business and others.
Amicogen promotes various activities to realize the value of contributing
to the protection of human health and the environment.
Amicogen is positioning itself as a global biotechnology company
through growth and leaps to create new values.
Amicogen has developed bio innovative technologies and operated the businesses that consider humankind and environment from the perspective of sustainability for the past 20 years.
