Thomas Ybert, DNA Script 🇫🇷 | DNA Printing & Synthesis | E27

We’re online 🇫🇷 with Thomas Ybert, the co-founder of DNA Script, the leading biotech for DNA printing of oligos.

We talked about the commercialization of the first DNA printer. We also talked about company building at large and how to expand to the US successfully.

⭐️ ABOUT THE SPEAKER

At just 30 years old, Thomas Ybert co-founded DNA Script in 2014 in Paris. Previously he worked in R&D at Sanofi before joining Total in the New Energies Division where he contributed to the bio jet-fuel project in collaboration with Amyris. It was here he developed his passion for manufacturing synthetic DNA which moved him from the world of academic research to a startup.
