Ginkgo’s Partnership with the Department of Energy and the Genesis Mission

In his remarks at the PNNL dedication, Ginkgo CEO Jason Kelly frames the launch of AMP2 as a pivotal moment for national security and scientific progress. He describes how the marriage of AI models and robotic labs—like the 97-robot fleet being deployed at PNNL—will allow for "closed-loop" science where AI adjusts experiments in real-time. Kelly compares the scale and importance of the Genesis Mission to the Apollo and Manhattan projects, highlighting its role in winning the global race for biotechnological innovation.
