Welcome to LeoRios Lab, we are based in the vibrant University College london, Department of Biochemical Engineering, where our research is driven by the fascinating field of Synthetic Bioprocessing. We are dedicated to applying cutting-edge synthetic biology tools and advanced biotechnologies to enhance the efficiency, scalability, and productivity of bioprocesses.
At the core of our work lies the seamless integration of biochemical engineering and synthetic biology principles. By leveraging these disciplines, we engineer biological processes at both the molecular and macromolecular levels, pioneering a novel approach to achieve desired outcomes. Through this integrated framework, we develop innovative and sophisticated bioprocessing techniques, harnessing the latest advancements in synthetic biology, such as genetic engineering, synthetic genomics, and metabolic engineering. These techniques enable us to design and precisely control scalable bioprocesses.
Our research endeavors extend beyond the laboratory, aiming to address pressing global socio-economic and environmental challenges. By utilizing our expertise, we strive to ensure equitable access to sustainable food, energy, and pharmaceuticals, while fostering local bio-economies. Additionally, we are committed to promoting access to high-quality education and cultivating a sustainable environment.
At LeoRios Lab, we are driven by a passion for unlocking the potential of synthetic bioprocessing to make a positive impact on society. Join us as we pioneer novel approaches, engineer cutting-edge biological systems, and forge a path towards a more sustainable and prosperous future.
