Arcturus BioCloud is a virtual bio-foundry for rapid prototyping microorganisms using genetic engineering. They’ve simplified the outsourcing of experiments on and yeast by seamlessly integrating genetic engineering technologies into a user-friendly platform that covers the whole genetic engineering cycle. Users can upload on Arcturus BioCloud
their biological design, and they will build and test it for them. This way, helping organisations accelerate their process of developing innovative products.
For that, they already have in place partnerships with Synbiota and ZymoResearch that provide us with advance technologies. In the following months, they will be adding new partnerships to extend their service portfolio. Their mission is to make more accessible these technologies so that scientists from all around the world can work with the best tools, regardless of their geographical limitations. They also have a great team; they met at Singularity University, and they cover all the domains required for executing the mission.
Biotechnology is one of the fastest-growing markets, mainly because of the exponential price reduction of Synthesizing and Sequencing, which is beating Moore’s Law. As the prices decrease, more people will start to create innovations and companies. They see this future very close, and that is why they’ve started providing these technologies that in the following years will be 100x cheaper.
