“With over half a billion dollars invested in synthetic biology companies in 2015 alone, the industry is now at an inflection point” said John Cumbers, Ph.D, Founder of SynBioBeta. “Tech investors are turning into biotech investors and it’s great to see so much support for the companies from investors in the industry such as Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt and Jerry Yang.” John continued, “Silicon valley is waking up to a new kind of programmable material: DNA”.
