Our Cluster Principal Investigator, Prof. Dr. Joachim Wittbrodt from the University of Heidelberg, has been elected a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) for his outstanding contribution to life science research. The international scientific organization honors researchers worldwide. Prof. Wittbrodt studies the development of fish embryos from the first cells to the differentiating organism. He combines state-of-the-art genetic, molecular and cell biology approaches, and his work has contributed significantly to the development of the CRISPR/Cas gene scissors. Congratulations!
