Amias Moore
Postdoctoral Senior research assistant
Amias obtained his PhD in Microbiology from the University of Kent in 2018.
Amias’ previous work aimed to develop more robust chassis strains for industrial use. This included the development and optimisation of whole-cell biocatalysts while helping to develop novel methods based on multi-omic analyses. Most recently, Amias worked on better understanding and characterising novel single subunit RNA polymerases with the intent of building new orthogonal expression systems for gram-positive bacteria.
Currently, Amias is part of the hub for biotechnology in the built environment, where he is developing strains able to grow on and convert urban waste to useful products. He is passionate about using biotechnology to develop sustainable solutions to societal challenges.
Key interests: Synthetic biology, Sustainable biotechnology, Circular economy, Waste valorisation.
