I started Ginkgo Bioworks to harness the power of biology for great things, as biology can self-replicate, self-repair, and self-assemble with precision that engineering disciplines can only dream of.

Biology is fundamentally digital; every organism is made up of sequences of DNA, and understanding how to program that DNA allows us to design biology to perform specific tasks.

We are exploring how to design all technological products as if they are part of the biosphere, envisioning a world where everything can be grown rather than built.

My vision extends beyond just creating better drugs; I aim to build a comprehensive understanding of biology at all scales.

We aim to create technologies and platform capabilities that are broadly useful, enabling new mechanistic insights and potentially curing diseases.

At Ginkgo Bioworks, our mission is to make biology easier to engineer, and we measure our success by the amount of genetic engineering we can achieve per person.

Our goal is to solve all diseases by leveraging AI to transform our understanding of biology and chemistry, enabling us to manipulate and craft solutions effectively.

The next century will be about learning how to design biology and program DNA, leading to a new generation of designers focused on biological systems.

At Ginkgo, we focus on improving the process of designing biology to make it smarter and more efficient.
