It was a pleasure to give a seminar in #Madrid at CIB Margarita Salas (CSIC) talking about the useful combination of the latest #synbio and #engineering tools applied to tackle the latest #biomanufacturing challenges. Thanks Jorge Barriuso Gonzalo Durante for being such amazing hosts!

Exciting paper from Alain Tissier 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 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Nice breakthrough! Juan Nogales POLYBIO CIB Margarita Salas (CSIC) SusPlast-CSIC 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 Cell Reports cell.com/cell-reports/f…

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! 🏎️😄

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!

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!

This Thursday, we had an amazing seminar by Mark Blenner 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🧬 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!

Join LeoRiosLab UCLBiochemEng 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

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

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

Really cool to have a nice group of UCLBiochemEng 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!

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

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

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 UCL Biochem Eng, @UChemEng, and @USFQ_Universidad pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

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

Fantastic to have Prof Peter Neubauer from TU Berlin to UCLBiochemEng, discussing the integration of advanced automation for accelerated process development. A relevant insight for our work at LeoRiosLab, where we’re harnessing our Tecan and Opentrons tools for

Had a fantastic LeoRiosLab meeting at UCLBiochemEng, 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! 💪🏼

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! UCLBiochemEng #TeamBonding #ScienceOnTheRocks #LabLife

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

Great to see the BioIndustry Association (BIA) policy submission highlighting the urgent need to support and fund #scale-up in #EngBio #SynBio. Proud that UCLBiochemEng and LeoRiosLab are contributing actively in this with many success stories helping startups/ industry partners innovate and
