Congratulations to Matt Verosloff for winning NU’s Civil and Environmental Engineering “My research in 180 seconds” flash talk competition! This competition featured great work going on throughout NU, from increasing the sterility in hospitals to creating buildings for life on Mars. Matt succinctly conveyed his contributions to the first wave of the Lucks Lab’s point-of-care diagnostic platforms, namely PLANT-dx for plant pathogens and Rosalind for an array of water contaminants. His work involves democratizing diagnostic technologies by harnessing the power of synthetic biology to allow people to cheaply and quickly monitor the world around them.
