IMBT
was founded in 1999 as an independent Research and
Development Company, focusing on immune systems regulation
in insects and higher animals. Also, on how the immune
systems of plants, insects and animals are interconnected
in a process of Immunity generation, and on the central
role that insects play in the regeneration of biomass.

| Strategy |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Improve
farm animal health by providing natural nutraceutical
food additives: a range of insects, grown on waste
biomass and challenged to stimulate their immune
systems. The benefits of these nutraceuticals are
transferred through the food chain.
Improve human health via a range
of insect based nutraceuticals that afford protection
against fungal, viral bacterial and parasitic infection
whilst also alleviating the causes of autoimmune
diseases.
Provide new safe and effective
vaccines for animals and people against a range
of pathogens. Provide a new
range of antibiotics. |

| Immunity
Generation |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Immunity
generation is the transfer of immune enhancing molecules
that occurs between members of a species or between
different species, through a process of ingestion
and /or transepithelial transfer, enhancing the immune
status of the recipient.
