LeoRiosLab

Research group at @UCLBiochemeng1 applying #Synbio #Bioprocess to produce sustainable drugs, biofuels and biomaterials with positive social impact

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Great to see the @BIA_UK policy submission highlighting the urgent need to support and fund #scale-up in #EngBio #SynBio.
Proud that @UCLBiochemEng1 and @LeoRiosLab are contributing actively in this with many success stories helping startups/ industry partners innovate and de-risk their scale-up journey in a highly innovative and cost effective environment.

Get in touch if you’re interested in working with us!

Long overdue and absolutely worth it, a sunny golf day with ex @UCLBiochemEng1 colleagues.
Great weather, big laughs, a few good shots, a bit of science discussion and… plenty of room to improve my putting! ⛳️🙈

Had an amazing time at our @LeoRiosLab bouldering social 🧗‍♂️! Great fun, great company, and fantastic to see so many embracing the world of climbing. Looking forward to the next one! @UCLBiochemEng1 #TeamBonding #ScienceOnTheRocks

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Had a fantastic @LeoRiosLab meeting at @UCLBiochemEng1, diving into exciting discussions on #EngBio, #Automation, #AI, #MetabolicEngineering, and #ScaleUp! 💡🧬 Exploring the best of #Bacteria, #Yeast, and #MammalianCells to drive innovation in #synbio and bioprocessing! 💪🏼

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Fantastic to have Prof Peter Neubauer from @TUBerlin to @UCLBiochemEng1, discussing the integration of advanced automation for accelerated process development. A relevant insight for our work at @LeoRiosLab, where we’re harnessing our @Tecan_Talk and @opentrons tools for #synbio, full #bioprocess #automation, and scalable solutions, powered by #AI and DoE algorithms

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Fantastic turnout for the #SynBio Seminar Series with the @london_synbio network hosted at @ucl! 🎉 Inspiring talks from @koray_malci on Therapeutic Skin and amazing presentations by the UCL & ICL #iGEM teams 🧬. Great to reconnect with old colleagues and meet new ones!

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Happy to share our new review on the synergies and challenges of #SynBio, #automation, and #bioprocessing in designing protein-based #biomaterials! A great collaboration between @UCLBiochemEng, @UChemEng, and @USFQ_Universidad

Had a fantastic time with part of the @LeoRiosLab @UCLBiochemEng1 team! Big thanks to Andre Alves Breda for organizing and giving us a delicious taste of #Portuguese cuisine. 😋 #GreatCompany #Goodtimes

[LeoRiosLab @LeoRiosLab]

Just two weeks later, we had another fantastic day out with the #team! Enjoyed the outdoors again, played UNO, and tried letting @DrLeoRios win for those glowing reference letters😆- though he only managed it once! Special thanks to @dlopezbarreiro for joining us this time.

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Really cool to have a nice group of @UCLBiochemEng1 members at the ECI conference “#Biochemical and Molecular #Engineering XXIII: Accelerating #Biotech Solutions to aid a Changing World.
It was great to deliver a talk about our #yeast #synbio work and make new connections!

[LeoRiosLab @LeoRiosLab]

Had a fantastic #TeamPicnic on the hottest day🌞of the year! Big thanks to Dr. Frank Beganz and @ajfedorec (vanished right before this group picture) for joining us!

Prof. Sven Panke @panke_sven at ETH Zurich @ETH_en and Prof. Leonardo Rios-Solis @DrLeoRios at University College London @ucl join #SynBYSS as the 340th and 341st pioneer speakers. Thanks!

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Join @LeoRiosLab @UCLBiochemEng1 We're seeking to support exceptional #postdoc candidates for current fellowships in engineering and scaling microbial cell factories to produce biofuels, high-value oils, alt food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and more #synbio #bioreactor #bioprocess

[LeoRiosLab @LeoRiosLab]

This Thursday, we had an amazing seminar by @MarkBlenner from the University of Delaware on leveraging #synbio for a circular economy. He also shared his lab's impressive work on non-model #yeasts. Thank you, Dr. Blenner, and thanks to all our members for attending!

[LeoRiosLab @LeoRiosLab]

Had an amazing first #journal club meeting with our team at #UCL! Our young researchers discovered some incredible work being done in microbial and mammalian #syntheticbiology. We also had a lot of fun discussing and sharing ideas. Excited for more sessions like this!

[LeoRiosLab @LeoRiosLab]

Hey everyone! I'm Chethan, an MRes project student at @LeoRiosLab. We're now back on X and can't wait to share our exciting work🧬! Expect behind-the-scenes peeks, #research updates, and some fun lab moments. We're excited to connect with all you #synbio enthusiasts out there!

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Grateful to have managed to swiftly form an incredible research team at @leorioslab @uclbiochem1, diving into #synbio #metabolic #engineering #bioreactors #automation. Our recent team-building activity? Go-karting! Proud to say I kept pace on the track! 🏎️😄

[Leonardo Rios @DrLeoRios]

Nice breakthrough! @Jnogales_SBG @polybiogroup @CIB_CSIC @susplast et al. have developed P. putida strains capable of converting plastics and lignin into up to 46% PHA/cell dry weight using a model driven approach #synbio #Sustainability @CellReports

Exciting paper from @trichomeIPB et al: "Combinatorial #Biosynthesis in #Yeast leads to Over 200 #diterpenoids" 🌿🧬. By harnessing the versatility/promiscuity of plant synthases/CYPs, they generated 162 new to nature diterpenoids 💪🏼 #synbio #engbio
