On the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s “Moonshot” speech, President Biden announced he was appointing Dr. Renee Wegrzyn as the first director of ARPA-H to launch bold and ambitious medical research programs. Was glad to swear her in today and begin that journey!

This would be a fun company to work for in their R&D division if you are a mechanistic biochemist!

Thrilled to announce @ginkgo's cell program with Merck to engineer enzymes to improve the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) !! 💊💊 If you are looking to replace a difficult synthetic chemistry step with a biocatalyst - reach out!🧬 endpts.com/ginkgo-inks-14…

Indeed, it works, it actually rocks! Ginkgo Bioworks should be renamed Ginkgo BioRocks 🦠 #howmotiffoodworks

synthetic biology prepping for the robot revolution

It's been a huge week in DNA reading this week, with the @Illumina Genomics Forum in San Diego. There was a star-studded appearance from the likes of Barack Obama and Bill Gates. The big news out this week is the falling cost of reading a whole human genome. 1/

HOLY SHIT! I knew the people at @ginkgo and Making With Life were smart, but this is the best decision they have ever made. Corinne Okada Takara is one of the most thoughtful and intelligent people I have ever met, and I'm so excited to see what this collaboration will result in.

Early warning. Simple and straightforward. We watch for hurricanes and tidal waves. Sometimes they are bad. Sometimes not. But we have the infrastructure to know what is coming. Proud to support CDC in this innovative/public-private effort. Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH Renee Wegrzyn

Please help us spread the word! Opportunity for high school students to earn FREE college credits while learning about bioengineering with the inspiring Drew Endy and me.

Info session this week👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

And Saturday was 1 year since we put a T-Rex on the NYSE 🏛 $DNA 😁🦖🧬 Doing hard things w/ people you love is really a gift.💚 #SB will be up there with #AI as a strategic priority for USG🇺🇸. Many people will join our small #synbio community - we're excited to welcome you all!!

Got to see many old friends and make some new ones at the White House! And John Cumbers and SynBioBeta were nice enough to host an afterparty! If you are new to #synbio #SB because of $DNA, follow John Cumbers and attend @synbiobeta events! twitter.com/TwistBioscienc…

And go to Paris to see iGEM Headquarters #iGEM2022 Oct 26-28! I'll be there! It's the world's largest student genetic engineering competition!🦠👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 If you want to look 10 years into the future of #synbio the kids know what's up.📸@ginkgo founders 2006 iGEM Headquarters-get tix:

I also mentioned we need to approach #SB with care and promote bio-literacy. I encourage you to follow Natalie Kuldell (Systems Sally) and #Biobuilder who are the world's best at teaching students to read and write DNA. Jake Auchincloss and I visited last month twitter.com/SystemsSally/s…
