Today we’re thrilled to release three announcements centered around our work in sustainability. Our platform is enabling our partners to pursue extraordinarily impactful work. These three different cell engineering programs we’re beginning demonstrate that, more and more, companies and governments are recognizing that synbio is critical climate tech. Biology is joining other climate technologies because […]
Foundry Theory is also on Substack More about synbio for carbon & climate:
We believe synthetic biology has an important role to play in addressing climate change. Climate change is a global threat that requires immediate action. It’s already impacting every single person and living thing on our planet. The best time to address climate change was decades ago; the next best time? Now. So, what are we […]
Today, we published our 2022 Sustainability Report, Caring at Ginkgo, detailing Ginkgo’s views and progress towards addressing global challenges, such as climate change and biological threats, as well as outlining the practices supporting our commitment to thoughtfully deploy our platform, build a diverse and inclusive workforce, and continue to foster a culture of employee ownership. Synthetic […]

A new kind of conversation space What are the spaces that anchor us in understanding and dreaming with science? I was introduced to science on my grandma’s lanai in Kahului, Maui. It was on that shaded porch where my father taught me and my sister to make pinwheels of hibiscus flowers and boats of bamboo […]

It’s been a big week here at Ginkgo and for the future of the bioeconomy! The White House issued an executive order to launch a national biotechnology and biomanufacturing initiative & tapped Ginkgo’s Renee Wegrzyn to lead the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. The White House has made it clear: the future lies in […]
Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. At Ginkgo, we’ve always strived to bring the best technologies—including biological tools, automation, and software—together onto one platform to better serve our customers. Today we’re excited to announce that we’ve signed definitive agreements to acquire two teams and technologies that will help us achieve this important […]
Introduction A couple months ago I came across this post on why young people seem to prefer working in ad tech than biotech. Given that I spent 10 years at a couple ad tech companies, and the past 5 years at a synthetic biology company, I have some opinions on the subject, and wanted to […]
