Today, synbio companies tools are attracting attention as well – from lab automation like DNA synthesis-as-a-service, to software (i.e. By integrating machine-learning, robotics, and high-throughput engineering, companies like Ginkgo Bioworks and Zymergen are helping customers dramatically reduce the timeline for developing new molecules in the flavor and fragrance, food ingredient, medical, agricultural, and specialty chemicals markets – a key reason that those two startups each raised more than $100 million in 2016. This podcast highlights Lux's thoughts on the impact of these tools in and beyond in synbio, and the rapidly developing ecosystem of startups within the space.
