Jake's recent Foundry Theory video about Ginkgo's Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs) makes my heart sing! What Sartorius's ambr250 system did for the field of fermentation and cell culture process development, I believe the RACs will do for all other phases in the cell engineering project life cycle.

This week on Foundry Theory! What is it about biotech R&D that makes collaboration challenging? How can we make it easier? https://hubs.la/Q02NTygX0

"Google Cloud's Shweta Maniar is on a mission to revamp drug discovery with the power of generative AI, the trendy type of AI that can create new content." “Ginkgo Bioworks is leveraging Google Cloud to fine-tune and train large language models for a variety of tasks,” Maniar explained. “They are using AI to build representations of proteins and DNA across multiple organisms and cell states to create broad tools for various applications.” Ginkgo’s goal is to use generative AI to create? comprehensive representations and “empower the biotech system,” she said. “Rather than developing drugs themselves, Ginkgo Bioworks is focusing on creating models that are accessible to partners through APIs, software packages, and collaborative partnerships.” https://lnkd.in/eJZGaUym

I tried to go a bit sassy and provocative in this week's video, asking "which type of nerds are the coolest?" My professional opinion: it's the bio nerds https://lnkd.in/eBZsVVzQ

I'm super excited to share a new Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc. #Agriculture partnership with Vitales Brasil, a Ubyfol company. Ubyfol, already an important player in Brazilian agriculture with 2024 expected revenues of ~US$180M / BRL $1B, is investing millions of dollars into Vitales to develop a proprietary portfolio of biological solutions. We're honored they chose Ginkgo to help them with a part of their #biocontrol product development. By tapping into our 370k+ strain bank that includes validated leads against several diseases, we can help them shave off a full year of R&D expense. My gratitude to Fernando de Sousa & Jo?o Alves da Silva for their vote of confidence in our work. Let's get to work! https://lnkd.in/d2-QPyhf #agbiologicals #sustainability #biocontrol #brazil #agricultura

Our mission at Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc. is to make biology easier to engineer for EVERYONE. Our latest product line, Ginkgo automation, is designed to do just that. Since the founding of the company, we have worked tirelessly to use automation and software to increase our experimental throughput and make biology easier to engineer for ourselves. Now we are making the tools that we are using at our own foundry available to everyone. If you are interested, DM me to learn more.
