Ginkgo Bioworks’ Ginkgo Datapoints launched the Virtual Cell Pharmacology Initiative (VCPI), an open-source effort to generate standardized pharmacology data and a reference engineered cell line (V-Ref293). The platform aims to produce high-quality RNA profiling and pharmacology measurements to train virtual cell models, committing to make master cell bank vials available in 2026. Ginkgo positioned VCPI as an industry resource to improve reproducibility in AI-driven cell models.
