The Institute of Microbial Chemistry (IMC) is a non-profit organisation, which hopes to contribute to human health, including new medicines and environmental protection, using natural products produced by micro-organisms as its core.
We are currently seeking partners to collaborate with us in new drug development, make use of our natural product and strain libraries, or work with us on solving environmental problems.
Below are some of the pharmaceutical agents discovered by IMC.
