Today, Invizyne Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ:IZTC) ("Invizyne"), a leading designer of cell-free, enzyme-based biomanufacturing systems to produce commercially important molecules and chemicals for everyday life, started trading on Nasdaq. The successful initial public offering marks the next era of biomanufacturing, based on an idea pioneered by UCLA Professor Emeritus James Bowie over a decade ago – making enzymatic pathways function outside the constraints of living cells.

“We were frustrated with the limitations of working with enzymatic pathways inside cells, which made us wonder whether we could get rid of the cells altogether,” said Bowie. “I was lucky to have a team with enough talent and grit to actually make it work.”  

After founding Invizyne in 2019 and continuing their work to mature the technology, today’s public listing on Nasdaq marks another milestone. “The team is excited to show the world what cell-free biomanufacturing can do,” Bowie said. “I personally believe there is a huge potential to replace much of current chemical production with our environmentally friendly alternative.”

Invizyne CEO Michael Heltzen adds, “After joining as the CEO, it quickly became obvious to me that this is a world-class scientific team, able to pull off what most scientists previously thought to be impossible. Specifically, making cell-free enzymatic pathways run chemical reactions without the need of the cell. We are thereby bypassing many of the limitations associated with cell-based synthetic biology. Now we aim to show our investors and the world that our next generation enzymes and biomanufacturing platform is commercially viable through licensing deals and different types of partnerships.”

About InvizyneInvizyne Technologies, Inc. is a cell-free enzyme-based biomanufacturing technology company headquartered in Monrovia, California. Invizyne is redefining biomanufacturing by leveraging cell-free, multi-step, enzyme-based systems to efficiently transform natural or renewable resources into highly sought after biochemicals, such as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), biofuels, food flavors, fragrances, cosmetics, etc. Management of Invizyne believes that its biomanufacturing platform, known as SimplePath™, will be a significant alternative to the current methods of chemical compound production, which are generally chemical synthesis, natural extraction, and synthetic biology. The objective for the SimplePath™ platform is to enable the efficient production of a diverse range of chemicals otherwise impossible to make, or very expensive to make. The SimplePath™ platform not only can maximize the value of these resources but also can contribute to the development of novel and renewable chemical compounds that hold the potential to open new markets and business opportunities.
