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!
The BIA has responded to a call for evidence on scaling UK innovation.➡️shorturl.at/ik4Ff
UK life sciences are world-class – but underfunded at scale-up. International investors see the value, but UK pension funds are missing the opportunity. BIA backs action to unlock domestic capital and mandate pension investment.
UK innovation deserves UK investment.

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 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! 💪🏼

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

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!

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
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.

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!
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!

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
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!
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!
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!

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

It was a pleasure to give a seminar in #Madrid at @CIB_CSIC talking about the useful combination of the latest #synbio and #engineering tools applied to tackle the latest #biomanufacturing challenges. Thanks @jorgebarriuso @Gonnyita for being such amazing hosts!
In today's frontier presented by Jorge @jorgebarriuso and Gonzalo @Gonnyita at @CIB_CSIC ... 🔽
We had the pleasure to have Leo (@DrLeoRios) and be able to learn about Synthetic Bioprocessing and his valuable scientific experiences. Thanks!!
