Doudna was introduced to CRISPR by Jillian Banfield in 2006 who had found Doudna by way of a Google search, having typed "RNAi and UC Berkeley" into her browser, and Doudna's name came up at the top of the list. [37] [38] In 2012, Doudna and her colleagues made a new discovery that reduces the time and work needed to edit genomic DNA.
CRISPR Made Simple — an educational guide to CRISPR for younger students and teachers. [ 70 ] CasPEDIA — a wiki-style database of the known CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins, their activity and use cases, launched in 2023 by a group of researchers at the IGI.
In 2020, Charpentier and American biochemist Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing" (through CRISPR). This was the first science Nobel Prize ever won by two women only. [4] [5] [6]
The U.K. had already approved the CRISPR treatment, called exa-cel (brand name: Casgevy), from Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics (which was co-founded by Charpentier), to treat people ...
Qi obtained his B.S. in physics and math from Tsinghua University, [1] China, Master in physics from UC Berkeley, and PhD in bioengineering from UC Berkeley. [2] During his PhD work at Berkeley, he studied synthetic biology with Adam Arkin, and was the first to explore engineering the CRISPR for targeted gene editing and gene regulation with Jennifer Doudna.

They live in the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego, CA. [62] Venter is an atheist. [63] Venter was 75 when he sold his main research building to UCSD in 2022. The institute had out grown the space and will be moving to a new facility in 2025. The Venter Institute campus in Rockville MD also continues to expand. He said he has no intention of ...
