Giorgio Lai

Giorgio Lai has a diverse range of work experience in the field of synthetic biology and biochemistry. Giorgio is currently working as a Scientist at Epoch Biodesign, where they have developed an automated platform for high-throughput molecular cloning and deep mutational scanning. Giorgio has optimized DNA assembly protocols to increase library size by 150-fold and has improved transformation efficiency in non-model hosts by 70-fold. Giorgio has also conducted multivariate experiments to maximize the yield of advanced cloning techniques and has implemented quality control processes to ensure the robustness of the workflow. Prior to their current role, they worked as a Doctoral Scientist at Newcastle University, where they focused on synthetic biology and biochemistry. Giorgio has also gained research experience as a Summer Fellow at the University of Lausanne and as a Research Intern at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale del Piemonte, Liguria e Valle d'Aosta. Giorgio began their research journey as an extracurricular MSc Student Researcher and later as a BSc Student Researcher at Università degli Studi di Torino.

Giorgio Lai began their educational journey in 2011 at the Università degli Studi di Torino, where they pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology. Giorgio completed their undergraduate studies in 2014. During this time, from 2011 to 2017, they also attended the Collegio Universitario di Torino Renato Einaudi, although the specific degree and field of study are not provided.

In 2014, Giorgio Lai enrolled at the Università degli Studi di Torino again, this time for a Master's Degree in Industrial Biotechnology. Giorgio successfully completed their master's program in 2017.

Giorgio'spursuit of knowledge did not end there. From 2017 to 2022, Giorgio Lai attended Newcastle University, where they undertook a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Synthetic Biology & Biochemistry. Giorgio is expected to complete this program in 2022.

Additionally, Giorgio Lai made use of online learning platforms such as Coursera, although the specific details of their involvement, including starting and ending years or degree and field of study, are not provided.
