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.
Since its founding, IGI researchers have discovered multiple new genome-editing proteins, expanding the toolkit beyond Cas9. [36] The wave of discoveries of additional genome-editing tools with different properties, including new Cas proteins and techniques like base editing, was sometimes called "CRISPR 2.0" in popular science reporting.
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]

He co-developed Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE) and optimized CRISPR/Cas9, discovered by Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier for engineering a variety of genomes ranging from yeast to human. [62] His laboratory's use of CRISPR in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS) is the latest contender for precise gene therapy. [64]
