Key Drivers & Challenges
New biological tools: New techniques can create "step
change" leaps for certain types of experiments
Challenge then becomes how to more broadly deploy
these techniques
Not all Foundry technologies scale at the same rate

Ginkgo Bioworks to Acquire Swiss Bioengineering Firm FGen
NEW YORK - Ginkgo Bioworks said on Monday that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire
FGen, a Swiss contract research organization...
Automation: Focused on increasing automation across
workflows as they mature
Difficult to balance scalability and flexibility
Miniaturization: Miniaturization not only drives down
reagent usage but these techniques are often higher
throughput (e.g. pipette-less liquid handling)
Requires constant investment in new technologies
(exponential scale tends to "break" current supply
chains, often quickly - e.g. pipette tips, plates, etc.)
