Randall Platt receives the Young Innovator Award from the American Chemical Society
On 16 April, the Synthetic Biology publication branch of the American Chemical Society (ACS), in partnership with The American Institute of Chemical Engineers, announced the winner of the 2024 Young Innovator Award: Randall Platt, Head of the Biological Engineering lab. The award recognises his “focus on developing and applying cutting-edge gene editing and synthetic biology technologies that address urgent and fundamental needs in biomedical research”.
“Converting academic innovations to medical products that help patients, especially when they are based on genetically engineered bacteria and radically new technology, is not straightforward. The challenges ahead span the topics of research and development, clinical safety and efficacy, regulation by health and environmental authorities, venture financing, and business.”From the interview with Randall Platt, head of the Biological Engineering Lab.
