Afrobodies

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, Afrobodies is a young and innovative biotechnology company specialising in the production of antibodies using alpacas. Co-founded by CEO Benedicta Mahlangu and CSO Dr. Peter Durcan in 2016, they focus on providing their products for life sciences research, such as immunodiagnostics, agriculture and immunotherapy. In partnership with South African based researchers, they aim to transform scientific research and make ground-breaking discoveries in South Africa. Afrobodies plans to reverse the antibody trade direction by, in due course, exporting their antibodies to Europe and North America. They differentiate themselves through excellent customer service, highly validated antibodies, reduced turn-around times and more cost-effective products.
