I have a friend who runs a company which genetically engineers cells to make chemicals for a living. This doesn't seem like 2040-era science fiction.

Indeed, I'm not sure it's out-of-scope for 2020-era technology.

What is the said company ?
Ginko Bioworks.

Apparently it's grown quite a bit since I've spoken to my friend. When we last checked in, it was a little startup. Now, it's a $2.4 billion dollar operation. I guess my friend is probably worth a few hundred million right now.
