Reggie St. Louis — engineer, founder, builder
I build across biology, machines and software. Right now, I’m developing Stromalytix to help labs design, simulate and manufacture engineered tissues.
Software and robots to move from a biological question to a proposed tissue design, a simulation and a testable experiment. Liver is the first demonstration; the platform’s scope spans tissues and biomaterials.
I built SystemLens to coordinate AI agents and give them relevant context. I sell implementations and build custom apps for small businesses. That work funds my development and provides software I can adapt for scientific workflows.
A project exploring container homes, land use and shared infrastructure in the Catskills. The design question: how can a place support practical housing, community and everyday life?
Hands-on, end to end
I developed a silk-based gel from raw cocoons, combined it with stem cells and 3D printed constructs showing microscopic evidence of bone and cartilage formation. I personally processed the fibers, optimized the gel, printed the constructs, cultured the cells and examined them.
My detailed findings are confidential. SilkFusion’s project video introduces related work by my team using silk-based biomaterials for platelet production.
At CELLINK, I contributed to bioprinter firmware, production and testing, including the BIO ONE. I’ve also printed, packed and shipped tissue constructs for pharmaceutical companies, startups and academic labs.
More recently, I built a four-degree-of-freedom wooden robot arm to explore lab automation. Biofab Box brings that hardware experience together with the software I’m building now.
Catskills, New York
The project brings together land development, container-home design and the shared infrastructure of a small community.
Development planning
Talk about the project ↗Access, water, wastewater, energy and shared spaces all shape what can be built. I’m interested in the relationship between those systems and a home that is useful, affordable and good to live in.
The current focus is the development plan: site feasibility, utilities, home design and shared spaces.
Build, explain, repeat
I share software demonstrations and ideas on camera. I’m interested in conversations with labs, biomaterials teams and people building useful machines and places.
