2020 Eppendorf Award for Young Investigators goes to Randall Platt

Randall Platt, head of the Biological Engineering Lab, receives the 25th Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators for his pioneering work developing a method to record timelines of gene expression events using a CRISPR-Cas system. Randall’s work focuses on living diagnostics - engineered bacteria that act as biographers of their environment by continuously recording gene expression information.
