Leo was a Senior Lecturer at the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences before joining the academic team at 香港六合彩中特网 Biochemical Engineering. He studied an MEng in Chemical Engineering at UNAM in Mexico then an MSc In Biotechnology at the Mexican Institute of Petroleum, Mexico before taking up postgraduate research with us. We鈥檙e very pleased to be welcoming him back!聽

His research is driven by the fascinating field of Synthetic Bioprocessing, finding novel ways to promote further understanding in聽the overlapping areas of Biochemical Engineering, Automation, and Synthetic Biology. The overall aim is to find novel ground-breaking solutions to apply this knowledge to tackle growing global socio-economic inequalities such as access to food and pharmaceuticals, boosting local bio-economies, as well as the promotion of a greener and more sustainable environment.聽

Leo鈥檚 research group has secured several grants to apply synthetic biology tools to engineer cell factories to produce bulk or high-value products such as biofuels, cellular agriculture, edible oils, fragrances, biomaterials, and pharmaceuticals. His team has leveraged Leo鈥檚 previous expertise in microscale bioreactors, continuous-flow systems, and open-source automation tools to speed up the design, construction, and characterization of microbial cell factories, taking into consideration industrial-scale conditions.聽

As well as his focus on research, Leo is very interested in promoting entrepreneurship, and he is the co-founder of Marizca LTD and Logikopt SA de CV.聽
