Early Warning Systems for Pathogens.
Designed for Everyone.

Biology can be unpredictable, but biosecurity can solve for natural and engineered threats using accessible, scalable solutions. Ginkgo’s biosecurity services can act like radar by helping to identify and track infectious diseases and surges to contain potential outbreaks.

As a government official or community leader, utilize public health data to make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and cultivate resilient, flourishing communities. Our biosecurity and public health unit—Concentric by Ginkgo—combines the technology, people, supplies, and logistics to capture baseline data and recognize anomalies that pose a risk.
