"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'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 & João 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.
We’re thrilled to unveil our latest product line - Ginkgo Automation. After 8 years of using these modular, reconfigurable automation systems internally, we’re excited to now offer our solutions to our partners. Our automation offering includes: 🗜️ Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs): Modular, flexible carts equipped with lab instruments, robotic arms, sample transport tracks, utility access, and optional HEPA filters. These can be combined to form systems - scale and de-bottleneck your system by plugging in more RACs for more unit ops and better capacity management! 💻 Automation Control Software (ACS): A web-based, collaborative software for dynamic scheduling and protocol interleaving, ensuring optimal device utilization and uptime. 🔧 Managed Automation Solution (MAS): Comprehensive remote support featuring continuous monitoring, error recovery, maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting. Discover how our automation solutions can enhance your lab’s efficiency and flexibility. Explore more at Ginkgo Automation Services. Let your lab grow with Ginkgo Automation.

In response to the growing threat of #mpox and the World Health Organization’s declaration of a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), Ginkgo Biosecurity is actively tracking the spread of the mpox virus both globally and in central Africa. This includes advanced epidemiological monitoring as well as active genomic surveillance. Our current surveillance efforts show clade I mpox virus activity surging in central Africa, driven largely by the spread of the novel 1b variant. In addition, we’ve identified several infections and imported cases in previously unaffected areas, including countries outside of Africa. At the same time, Clade II mpox (including the 2022 2b variant) continues to circulate in countries where the virus has been present. Ginkgo Biosecurity is committed to strengthening global health security, providing nations with critical capabilities to detect, analyze and respond to mpox as it emerges, evolves, and spreads. #Biosecurity #PublicHealth #MpoxSurveillance #GlobalHealth #GinkgoBioworks
