ETH medal for excellent research: gene engineering | toxicity testing | wastewater monitoring
Florian Schmidt from Randall Platt’s lab and Julia Boos from the group of Andreas Hierlemann receive the ETH medal for their excellent doctoral theses on advancing the RNA-based transcriptional recording technology and embryotoxicity tests using microfluidic devices, respectively. David Dreifuss, student at the Department of Mathematics co-supervised by Niko Beerenwinkel, is honoured for his excellent Master’s thesis on SARS-CoV-2 variant monitoring in wastewater. Big congrats!
