BioImage specializes in developing and selling proprietary bioassays to biopharmaceutical companies and research institutions. It also develops bioassays on a contract service basis.

BioImage has made broad patents covering Enhanced GFP (EGFP), GFP-based biosensors and any genetically encoded protein fusion to a luminophore, with subsequent monitoring of the protein's translocation within a cell as the primary readout for drug discovery assays. This intellectual property, trademarked Redistribution, allows many collaborations and out-licensing activities with biopharmaceutical companies.[1]

Merger

In April 2006, BioImage was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific. The merger was complete in November 2006, and technology transfer to a US site was completed during 2007 and 2008.[2]

gollark: I see.
gollark: If you want to coordinate large groups of people, and you *have* to to maintain modern technology (and anarchoprimitivism very bad), you are probably going to need to have mechanisms to do so.
gollark: I don't think that sounds very practical. Local community trust things probably don't scale beyond dunbar's number or so.
gollark: <@711572499510591561> I'm interested, what's "quantum engineering"?
gollark: PyroBot has been sentient since the rewrite.
