Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer.
Ginkgo Bioworks is the organism company. We design custom organisms for customers across multiple markets. We build our foundries to scale the process of organism engineering using software and hardware automation. Organism engineers at Ginkgo learn from nature to develop new organisms that replace technology with biology.
Ginkgo Bioworks builds autonomous lab platforms for biotechnology, aiming to replace manual benchwork with automated systems that empower scientists to focus on insight and creativity. They offer autonomous labs and cloud lab solutions that run experiments and provide data through their platforms. They position themselves as enabling researchers to design and run biological experiments via robots and cloud-enabled workflows.
Ginkgo provides autonomous lab systems that can be built and run in customers' environments, including a Boston-based autonomous lab and a cloud lab option. Customers can run experiments through Ginkgo’s autonomous lab, speak human language to control workflows, and use Ginkgo Solutions and Ginkgo Datapoints to design and address specific goals. The platform includes hardware, software, and support to enable lab automation, with services such as Catalyst Agent for orchestration and access to Datapoints for data-driven insights.
Who it’s for: Researchers and organizations seeking to automate laboratory workflows and accelerate biotech R&D, including those wanting to run autonomous lab experiments and leverage cloud-enabled laboratory capabilities.
