Biennial Report 2011–2012

Start-ups
UAB Baltymas is a small Lithuanian start-up biotechnology
company. Founded in 2011 by young scientists of the Institute
of Biotechnology (Vilnius) it combines scientific experience
and knowledge for generation of novel biotechnology products.
The company develops yeast expression systems and employs
them for synthesis of native recombinant proteins. UAB
Baltymas can offer customers yeast-expressed viral nucleocapsid
proteins for use in diagnostics of viral infection. It can also
propose recombinant human cell proteins both for fundamental
and applied research and for biopharmaceutical purposes.
It is also open for synthesis of various recombinant proteins
in yeast on a contract basis. For more information please visit

“IMD Technologies” is a start-up company, established in
2012 under the High Technology Development programme
in Lithuania for 2011-2013 “R&D Commercialization” project
which was funded by Agency of Science, Innovation and
Technology (MITA). The company is based on the premises of
Vilnius University Institute of Biotechnology.
“IMD technologies” is R&D performing SME with the goal
to fulfill industrial need to replace the conventional (chemical)
methodologies with green alternatives by offering designed enzymatic
and/or green technologies.
“IMD Technologies“ performing R&D and produces biopolyols,
which are used for production of polyurethane foam.
Current polyols which are used in industry are petroleumbased
products. “IMD Technologies” proposes biopolyols
made from vegetable oils. These biopolyols have much better
characteristics (natural, not toxic, anti-allergic, biodegradable)
compared with chemical polyols including reduction of polyurethane
fire potential to “green” biopolyol basis.
Also, “IMD Technologies“ produces epoxidized oil, which can
be used as natural plasticizer instead of chemical plasticizers in
such industries as: cosmetics, PVC production, toys manufacturing,
dyeing and polishing products manufacturing and etc.
Epoxidized oil can change phthalates, which are toxic and dangerous
for health and soon will be forbidden in EU to be used
as plasticizers. Moreover, epoxidized oil can be used instead of
any other plasticizers.
Furthermore, “IMD Technologies“ is developing biocatalysts
with novel activities by the three most common ways: screening
for enzymes (environmental samples, enzyme and strain
collections, metagenomic and expression databases), development
of biocatalyst (gene engineering, development of analytical
systems) and application of biocatalyst (immobilization,
recycling, proof of principal, activity/selectivity, stability, reaction
media). Company can also carry out and develop various
microbiological and chemical analytical methods.
Company has a professional and experienced team, which has
a long term experience in biotechnology field, including participation
in various international and national R&D projects
(FW7, Eureka and etc.).
