IMS History
Dr. John P. Sottery founded IMS in 1992 with the purpose of designing new technologies to empower global product development organizations. Perfecting the various in vitro methods and skin-like materials, he interfaced with some of the most innovative R&D teams in the world. In 2019, John aligned himself with Florida Suncare Testing, Inc and sold the IMS technologies to the Bunnell-based clinical and analytical laboratory. An ideal complement to FSTI, IMS operates as a division providing VITRO-SKIN® offerings and advanced pre-clinical testing services.
