Founded on research

IMAGENE was founded as a result of a project developed via the collaboration between the laboratories of the universities of Bordeaux and the CNRS, with a multi-disciplinary team of researchers in molecular biology, genetics and chemistry.

Encapsulation of the DNA

The IMAGENE team has designed and developed an original technology for the dry preservation of DNA at room temperature upon DNA extraction and encapsulation in a corrosion-proof metallic capsule.
IMAGENE has developed a production facility and organization to obtain, preserve and protect genotypes of all human, animal and vegetal species.
IMAGENE technology is covered by a world-wide patent. This patent is delivered in France and in most major countries, including the United States, Canada and the member states of the European Patent Office.

Support

IMAGENE has been awarded the Oseo (French innovation agency) Innovative Company Label. It has been supported by Oseo Innovation, the French Ministry of Research and New Technology, the Aquitaine Regional Council and the Ile de France Regional Council.
Several financial partners have invested in IMAGENE including OTC Asset management, a major European venture capital firm.
