Biofoundries, Bio-Platforms & Cell Design
What changes this industry: bio-solutions with evidence, technologies, suppliers and open money.
Overview of the industry
The design layer of synthetic biology: DNA synthesis and gene foundries, strain engineering as a service, metabolic engineering, cell-free systems, CAD software for biological design, standard genetic parts, and the AI platforms that design strains. Public biofoundries and commercial foundries are both listed among the suppliers.
