About us

The Institute of Marine Biotechnology e.V. (IMaB) was founded in 1996 by members of the University of Greifswald.

The IMaB is dedicated to support research and development in the field of marine biotechnology. The IMaB research programme ranges from the isolation of novel microorganisms to functional genomics.

Key issues include:

• discovery of new antimicrobial compounds,
• drug development based on marine natural products,
• proteomics of marine bacteria,
• cold-adapted enzymes,
• expression systems.
