Capability to engineer customizable and traceable microbes, creating environments to stimulate and measure trillions of mutations
Also leveraging microbes to synthesis enzymes that operate on the directly on waste chemistry
Focus on rare earth elements Oil Sands Process Water (OSPW) ,PFA) and Polyurethane foam
Third company to launch out of the Ginkgo Bioworks' investment vehicle to leverage biology to solve global intractable problems, also funded by Bill Gates' Cascade Investments
Building the first CAD platform for biology, an end-to-end platform for genetic design by integrating state-of-the-art synthetic biology with computational tools, a cloud-based software suite for genetic designers that is coupled with real biological components and data-driven models
Enabling the design and manufacture of advanced therapies; biologics, viral vecors, programmable medicines
Genetic Simulator software makes predictions about the biophysical behavior of the system, whilst debugging capacity tells you what's actually happening 'under the hood' of an engineered cell to find the root cause of the problem and guide the design of a better genetic program that achieves the desired behavior.
Standardized chassis serve as a controlled environment for genetic part characterization.
Aiming to provide a comprehensive set of engineering-grade parts, to control diverse aspects of cell biology.
Horizontal platform; across cell type and industrial applications.
Codebase of DNA logic is derived undertaking projects, held as a unique proprietary database, can be leveraged in further application.
