Amazing day yesterday at Ginkgo Ferment! 🧬🎉🧬 Keynote is here where I announce our new Lab Data as a Service offering! youtube.com/live/wKFmFM7Zd… Can see the first set of services here! ginkgobioworks.com/ondemand/ You own the data generated, no royalties, transparent pricing and…
We should ban humans from BSL4 labs and do all the work robotically instead. We need people working on developing defenses against the worst human diseases like Ebola — but to put actual humans in those labs with these viruses every day and then send them home to their…
This is a great service for advancing synthetic biology! I just requested a free sample from @Ginkgo to try out this cell-free protein synthesis system.
So excited to launch our 1st reagent products at Ginkgo!! We've built a ton of amazing biology tools over the years -- awesome to get them in the hands of researchers! Free samples at the link below if you'd like to try out our cell-free protein synthesis system!! 😀🧬 🧬

Cell-free protein synthesis systems, optimized at Ginkgo and now available to you! Ginkgo has been using cell-fee protein synthesis systems in house for years, and we’re now making our E. coli system available to outside users! We’ve optimized it for: • High production from…
Go to Venus! Nice idea and article @ThatMrE 🙌
No - let's live in cloud cities. A lot easier: thatmre.medium.com/we-re-going-th…
Yep this is a real crisis for early stage drug discovery in US
Everyone missed the real China story. While we debated TikTok, Chinese scientists quietly built 1,250 novel drug candidates—up from 160 in 2015. That's not a typo. They added 1,090 innovative medicines in 9 years. The entire EU added 200. Here's how they broke pharma's…
Great addition to the @Ginkgo platform that I would have used at my last company. Go try it out and lmk what you think!
Awesome new offering from Ginkgo Datapoints -- we will price match any ADME service quote you get (including from Chinese or other international vendors). We plan to have the best per-compound pricing out of the gate anyway --our automation at Ginkgo allows best in class…
The only way US [fill in the blank] R&D can compete with China is via automation.
Yep, the only way US biotech R&D can compete with China is via lab automation. Chinese scientists are smart, US-trained, work hard, and for a lower salary than US counterparts -- without lab automation US will lose the startup drug discovery industry in the next 3 years.

ADME services at Chinese rate but in the US. "price-match + automation" will certainly lead to re-shoring of Biotech.

We’re excited to launch a powerful new capability at Ginkgo Datapoints: high-throughput, low-cost ADME profiling—optimized for machine learning from day one. Whether you’re prioritizing small molecules or training predictive models, early access to rich ADME data can…
Always love having the chance to chat with Dawn ! Enjoyed the discussion and great interview of us by @riskindan on biodefense and AI for biotech!
What if the next virus is developed as a weapon? Surveillance isn’t just medical — it’s strategic, says @Ginkgo's @jrkelly with Dawn Meyerriecks & @riskindan. Listen to our new podcast, The Ripple Effect: Investing in life sciences with Novartis: gzeromedia.com/podcast/the-ri…
Great article from @voxdotcom on biological weapons and how to defend against them - with commentary from @matt_f_mcknight who leads biodefense work at @Ginkgo. We need to be proactive about this in USG so we aren’t defenseless. vox.com/future-perfect…
Biotech has major implications for our economy and national security. I spoke with @ISSUESinST about how biotechnology can strengthen America’s warfighters, modernize agriculture, and enhance life sciences. issues.org/interview-sena…
This quote is one of my fav parts of biology too. Amazing long read from @srikosuri - worth a read for the virtual cell modelers. Excited to see a new generation take a swing!
OK. I posted a first attempt at spelling out some of my thoughts on the new race for virtual cell models. Overall, I'm excited, but also wary that we might repeat some of the same mistakes of the past.
So much to learn from each other Bio 🤝 Tech
How to build a thriving open source community by writing code like bacteria do 🦠. Bacterial code (genomes) are: - small (each line of code costs energy) - modular (organized into groups of swappable operons) - self-contained (easily "copy paste-able" via horizontal gene…
OK. Story time on how @jrkelly, @DrewEndy and I got a cease & desist letter, and oven mitt, and a big bottle of Tabasco from McCormick & Schmick's for building computational models...
🌶️spicy paper alert🌶️ We present TABASCO, a new model for small molecule generation that achieves state-of-the-art PoseBusters validity while also being ~10x faster This is all achieved despite ✖️no equivariance ✖️no self-conditioning ✖️no bond modelling what we found🧵(1/n)
oh wow we need space hotels yesterday
Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite. Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so…
Me: How’s the water? Dolphin with thumbs: **gives a thumbs up**
Should we genetically engineer dolphins to be smart enough to be the humans of the sea so we have someone else to talk to?
