Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. Ginkgo is constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world in order to answer the globe’s growing challenges in health, energy, food, materials, and more. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house automated foundry for designing and building new organisms. 

Team Introduction

The Protein Engineering Team works to address the complex challenges of protein and enzyme discovery, optimization, and design. We develop, onboard, stress-test, and utilize state-of-the-art protein discovery and design techniques in a continuously improving suite of AI, machine learning, and computational protein design tools. We are responsible for building a platform to “make proteins easier to engineer”, and deliver on protein design challenges that span a range of applications from health, agriculture, commodity chemicals, materials, flavors and fragrances, and more. 

Ginkgo recently announced a large partnership with Google Cloud to build a generative AI platform for engineering biology and for biosecurity. The Protein Engineering team is responsible for delivering best-in-class foundational models and ...
