- 08 Oct 2020
- The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020 was awarded jointly to Emmanuelle Charpentier (France) and Jennifer A. Doudna (USA) "for the development of a method for genome editing."
- Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna have discovered one of gene technology’s sharpest tools: the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. Using these, researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision.
- This technology has had a revolutionary impact on the life sciences, is contributing to new cancer therapies and may make the dream of curing inherited diseases come true.
