5 days ago · In 2011, Charpentier met Jennifer Doudna, a biochemist, at a conference. The two scientists collaborated and published their discoveries in 2012 [ 1 ], leading them to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 [ 52 ].
5 days ago · The possibility of using CRISPR as a gene-editing technology was recognized in 2012 by American scientist Jennifer Doudna, French scientist Emmanuelle Charpentier, and colleagues. These researchers discovered that guide RNAs produced by CRISPR bind to nucleases, which then target particular DNA sequences, and that such RNAs could be modified to ...
