Not every important step in life sciences starts with a new concept. Sometimes, it comes from making existing methods work better.
Great to see LAM-X develop VerdiBlot and continue precise work on nanomaterials — thoughtful innovation in a part of science that often stays out of the spotlight.
Bio€quity Europe is almost here!
From 4–6 May 2026, Prague will welcome investors, biotech companies, and tech transfer professionals for several days of partnering and discussion. For IOCB Tech, it is an important space where research, investment, and application meet.

Some of the most important advances in life sciences are tools, not therapies.
Great to see LAM-X introduce VerdiBlot, a new bioanalytical method building on Western blot with the aim of making protein analysis more reliable and easier to interpret.
Congrats.

Czechia is not lagging in research investment. Around 2% of GDP goes into R&D, and the scientific base is strong.
The challenge is what comes next: turning research into companies, products, and market presence. That is where IOCB Tech works.

“Who owns the work an AI produces — and how safe is our data, really?” 🤖
That’s why Matěj Malý and Kateřina Habelová joined a seminar at the Prague Innovation Institute on IP, AI & ethics in research (Feb 25), including what the European AI Act will mean in practice.

🧬 Metabolism research is moving fast toward clinical impact — proud to support the Prague Metabolism & Signaling Symposium. More soon! #MetabolismSymposium (via @PragueMetabol on X)
Should biotech stay in the lab — or also help strengthen Europe’s security? 🛡️
💬 “Given today’s geopolitics, we in biotech can’t ignore stability and safety,” says Matěj Malý (IOCB Tech). Feb 17: Czech Industry Day + EDF matchmaking. 🤝

🇱🇺 In Luxembourg, Petr Zelenka’s Elegance of the Molecule opened a window into the moment when a scientific idea first takes shape — inspired by discoveries of Czech chemist Antonín Holý.
It’s a reminder for Europe’s innovators to keep an eye on the new stories emerging in Czechia.
#TechTransfer
Science met theatre last night in Luxembourg — and the result was a powerful reminder of how stories shape discovery. The Elegance of the Molecule by Dejvické divadlo brought researchers, actors, founders and diplomats onto one stage — and into one storyworld.

“My dream is to capture air and separate air to - for instance, in CO₂ or oxygen or water or something - and convert this to useful materials using renewable energy.”
🧬Susumu Kitagawa, Nobel Prize 2025
At IOCB Tech we believe that science finds its true voice when it speaks beyond the lab.
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to Makoto Fujita, Omar Yaghi & Susumu Kitagawa for creating MOFs — molecular frameworks that harvest water from desert air, capture CO₂, or store toxic gases.
That’s what #TechTransfer is about — turning science into impact.

🍸The formula proved simple: collaborate, stir, repeat.
One more toast to the IOCB Tech crew — the shared effort made the last IOCB Happy Hours click — and a quiet cheer for Ladislava, our patent attorney, for her steady behind-the-scenes support.✨

To stay within norms, part of our menu remains a limoncello spritz mystery — so we edited a few shots with standard lab gear: bunnies, chocolate, Roman pillars, and quality literature.
We can’t wait till next time! ✨
🍸 Had it not been for our innate modesty, we’d call last night’s Happy Hours a roaring success. Thank you for bringing the spark — and to the IOCB Tech team for dedication.✨ #TechTransfer #LifeSciences #Innovation #Networking
