<p><b>Industry Profile</b></p>
 
-
<p>The global synthetic biology market is estimated to grow to $4.5 billion over the next three years. This is due to major developments in biomedicine, pharmaceutical drug synthesis, energy and environmental research, biomaterials, nanotechnology, and biosecurity. There have been significant investments in the industry by companies such as Amyris Inc, GeneScript, Bayer, and Blue Heron Biotechnologies. Additionally, developments in DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies and bioinformatics have catalyzed the progress of synthetic biology ever since the creation of the first synthetic cell in 2010. Synthetic biology is being recognized around the world as an emerging technology that has the potential to provide solutions to energy and food shortage, pollution, infectious diseases, and even climate change. The following diagram depicts the distribution of the global synthetic biology market share, as of 2011:</p>

<p><b>Marketing Strategy</b></p>
 
-
<p>Vivosynth will adopt a two-step marketing plan for commercializing ModuLab. It involves the systematic dissemination of our technologies to academic and research institutions at highly discounted rates, followed by the targeted selection of pharmaceutical companies and chemical manufacturers with our final full-price system. Intellectual property protection for our design will be obtained prior to the execution of our sales strategy.<br>
 
-
Next, the company will look to enter into distribution agreements for the registration and sales of its products in the United States, and eventually foreign countries. These distribution agreements will take the form of contracts with existing manufacturers of biotechnology devices, in order to achieve economies of scale.  <br>

Vivosynth will also actively pursue online advertising, advertise our products at biotechnology oriented trade shows, and release a monthly newsletter to keep potential and current customers updated about product developments. <br>

Overview


Customer Problem
The cloning process consists of several individual steps, each with its own equipment and machinery. It is complex, yet still requires a remarkable amount of human intervention. This results in errors, inconsistencies, and an overall delay in meeting significant synthetic biology milestones. Our team seeks to minimize this “human intervention” element by designing, prototyping, and commercializing an automated cloning system.



Our Solution
Our flagship product, ModuLab, is an automated system designed to optimize cloning, the underlying process of synthetic biology. The ultimate goals of ModuLab are to minimize error, maximize efficiency and provide synthetic biologists with feedback on every stage of the cloning process.
