Jennifer Doudna wins 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry!
The groundbreaking power & versatility of CRISPR-Cas9 has opened up new & wide-ranging possibilities across biology, agriculture & medicine, including the treatment of thousands of intractable diseases.
Jennifer's and Emmanuelle's discovery changed EVERYTHING for the better, and I am convinced that the 21st century will be remembered as the Age of CRISPR - an Age that they started with their magnificent work.
