Dr. Wagner was one of the first to realize the enormous
scientific and commercial potential of synthetic biology. He
successfully converted that scientific and technical vision into
a sound business model supplying gene optimization, dna
synthesis and subcloning to the 20 largest pharmaceutical
companies in the world. In addition to his work at geneart,
Ralf also manages the Molecular Microbiology and Genetherapy
unit at the University of Regensburg. Some people decide
