Marco is a Lecturer at UCL Department of Biochemical Engineering and Associate Member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (AMIChemE).
He obtained his PhD from the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST, 2010) in Lisbon, Portugal, focusing on the application of small scale devices to carry out steroid bioconversions. During his post-doctoral studies at the Institute of Biotechnology and Bioengineering (Lisbon, Portugal, 2010-2013) he established the use of marine bacteria to produce secondary metabolites before joining Professor Nicolas Szita’s group at the Department of Biochemical Engineering (UCL) in 2013 to develop microscale bioprocessing techniques.
Marco's main contributions are to Industrial Biotechnology and focus on Sustainable Bioreaction Engineering principles to synthesise value-added chemicals and pharmaceuticals. He has an established track record in engineering and scale-up/down of fermentation and biocatalytic processes. He has particular interest in the translation of traditional biocatalytic reactions (single-step and multi-step) and reactors into flow systems.
