Paris Biofoundry

The person who designs a house is not the same who builds it; however, in biology this is currently the case. A Biofoundry makes it possible to decouple the construction phase from the more intellectual phases: basically, we get humans out of repetitive and tedious tasks, and we do them in a more reproducible, faster and cheaper way. Humans will be able to focus on the more intellectual tasks: conception, design, computer-aided data analysis. Today, there are about thirty biofoundries in the world, but only one in France. The Paris Biofoundry has 3 objectives : - Accelerate the structuring of the bioengineering sector: all startups and labs do synthetic biology in a very artisanal way, without having access to equipment that is often very expensive. The objective is to put this equipment at the service of academic, industrial and start-up labs. - Have a training structure for future engineers and researchers to introduce them to this way of building in biology - Being an engine of innovation: it allows startups or even large industrial partners to obtain their proof of concept to succeed in their fundraising afterwards.
