About
RoBio Systems Ltd is a biotechnical engineering company working to bring new engineering and instrumentation technology to Life Science. We are a subsidiary of BioArts International, working closely with BioArts and chosen collaborators to integrate our engineering science knowledge with our collaborators’ application areas.
RoBio Systems Ltd. was founded in late 2004 around a core team of engineers from Central Research Laboratories' (CRL's) Bio-Instrumentation and Microfluidics development group. RoBio has concentrated the diverse expertise needed for successful work in this field in a small group that covers the skill set from mechanical design engineering, precision machining, microfluidics design to biochemistry.
RoBio Systems has a development facility in London, UK, equipped with high-precision micromachining, laser forming and plasma treatment facilities, plus SolidWorks / EdgeCAM design and fabrication software. We work with a number of academic and commercial collaborators to access complementary facilities and ensure delivery of our development projects.

Lou Hawthorne, CEO, based in the Bay Area, CA, USA, Dr. John Dodgson, President, London.
The RoBio team comprises:
Malcolm Austen, head of mechanical design, Ray Cattini, Test programmes and biochemistry, Bryan Miller, CAM and microfabrication.
