BioImage is a Danish biotechnology company that was demerged from Novo Nordisk in 1999.
BioImage specializes in developing and selling proprietary bioassays to biopharmaceutical companies and research institutions. It also develops bioassays on a contract service basis.
The company has made broad patents covering "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]
In April 2006, BioImage was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific. The merger was complete in November 2006.[2]
