Applied research with participation of IMG researchers (mostly in collaboration with biotech companies) possesses clear economic potential. In the past 15 years, the IMG employees founded seven spin-off biotech companies, which operate independently and develop dynamically. Detailed information on these companies is mentioned below:

Apronex s.r.o.
http://www.apronex.cz/
Focused on research, development and production of biologically active recombinant proteins.
Cellvia s.r.o. Focused on development of small molecule-based drugs; activities are still at the launching phase.
EXBIO Praha a.s.
http://www.exbio.cz/
Focused on research, development and production of monoclonal antibodies and recombinant.
Proteix s.r.o.
http://www.proteix.cz/
Focused on research, development and production recombinant proteins.
Top-Bio s.r.o.
http://www.top-bio.cz/
Focused on development and production of reagents for DNA fragment amplification by polymerase chain reaction.

In the past 15 years, more than 150 commercially exploited hybridoma cell lines and plasmid constructs for preparation of recombinant proteins have been produced and transferred to implementation partners (Exbio, Apronex, Top-Bio) on contractual basis.

The total commercial turnover based on these products in the past 15 years was more than CZK 200 millions.
