Our Mission, Vision & Purpose
Nature has already solved many of the synthetic challenges we face — and it is both scientifically possible and commercially compelling to harness those solutions for modern science and industry. Zenbiochem was founded on a single conviction “To provide dependable, renewable-origin research tools and starting materials that support scientists, universities, biotechnology companies, and healthcare organisations worldwide — driving progress in research and drug development while reducing the environmental footprint of science.”
A world beyond petroleum chemistry
Reduce fossil-carbon dependency for KSMs, reagents, and building.
Science that heals and sustains
Drive drug discovery and scientific progress by promoting environmental recovery.
Closing the loop on chemical waste
Our process chemistry is designed from first principles to minimise effluents and environment damage.
Driving scientific research & drug discovery
We offer reagents and kits developed from ecofriendly route to promote scientific discovery
90%+ of pharma KSMs are petroleum-derived
The vast majority of drug building blocks originate as by-products of crude oil refining – ecologically destructive resource.
Bio-based alternatives aren’t reaching market
Microbial metabolic pathways, enzyme catalysis to produce molecules from renewable feedstocks
Bridging possibility and commercial reality
We systematically identify KSMs and reagents — then develop the enzyme cascade or fermentation process to get there.
A sustainable supply chain for life sciences
We expand the range of applications served by renewable-origin starting materials — building toward a life-science supply chain.
