Dr Rick Farouni is a bioinformatics scientist in Prof Randall Platt’s group at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) at ETH Zurich. He is an applied statistician and computational biologist with expertise in the statistical modelling and bioinformatics analysis of genomics, single-cell transcriptomics (e.g., scRNA-seq) and CRISPR genome editing data. His current research focus is the statistical model;ing of data generated by single-cell CRISPR screens and transcriptional recording via CRISPR spacer acquisition experiments (e.g., Record-seq).
