National Enzyme Research Center: A Foundation for Innovation

In 2019, the National Functional Enzyme Research Center was established at SINOFN. Supported by institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, specialized laboratories, and the China Bio-Fermentation Industry Association, the center has conducted in-depth research on enzymes for special populations. It pioneered the concept of “targeted functional enzymes”, giving enzymes both specificity and functionality.
