Here at UCL Biochemical Engineering, we're pioneering the technique of Synthetic Biology, where we redesign biology to solve some of the world's biggest problems. In this taster lecture, Dr Leo Rios will present his work on redesigning yeast to produce oils that can be used in industries such as cosmetics, as well as the challenges of growing the cells (bioprocessing) and then extraction and purification.
