Luis H. Reyes is an Associate Professor at Universidad de Los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia) and Director of the Product and Process Design Group. Luis is a chemical engineer (Universidad Industrial de Santander, Colombia) with a PhD. in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University (College Station, TX, USA). His research interest focuses on applying biological engineering to design and develop bioprocesses and bioproducts using various tools borrowed from the natural sciences, such as molecular and synthetic biology, reverse engineering of microorganisms, laboratory adaptive evolution, and microbiology. He teams with an interdisciplinary research group in the biomedical engineering area to develop bionanoconjugated vehicles to transport and deliver biological molecules with therapeutic potential, including gene and enzyme replacement therapies. He also works in the discovery and production of peptides with applications in the medical, food, and petrochemical industries. In food engineering, Luis studies the sensory design of beer and the protein replacement of dairy products. See less
