abstract:Squid Labs was an independent research and development company founded by a group of four MIT graduates. In 2004, Colin Bulthaup, Dan Goldwater, Saul Griffith, and Eric Wilhelm moved from the East Coast to California to found the company known as Squid Labs.
Ginkgo, inspired by the do-it-yourself ethos of SquidLabs' Saul Griffith, will sell these standardized genetic parts dried onto sheets of paper or in vials to big companies that want to make new drugs, plastics and petroleum replacements.
