DNA Script is a French life-sciences technology company that pioneered Enzymatic DNA Synthesis (EDS) and built the SYNTAX System, the first benchtop DNA printer that lets researchers make custom DNA oligonucleotides on-site in hours instead of waiting days for outsourced orders. Founded in 2014 in Le Kremlin-Bicetre near Paris, the company aims to make biology programmable by putting rapid, template-free DNA production directly on the lab bench.
Koniku is a California synthetic-biology company that builds 'wetware' - devices that fuse living, engineered neurons with silicon to smell the world. Its Konikore sensor programs biological receptors to detect odors, explosives, chemical vapors and disease biomarkers at sensitivities that rival a dog's nose, aiming to give machines a sense of smell for airport security, healthcare and industrial monitoring.
