CRISPR Therapeutics has formed collaborations in support of its mission of developing medicines. Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics entered into a strategic research collaboration in 2015 focused on the use of CRISPR/Cas9 to discover and develop potential new treatments aimed at the underlying genetic causes of human disease.

She has received many prestigious awards and fellowships for her numerous contributions to biochemistry and genetics, and is most famous for her work on CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology. [2] Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier were awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing."
The original Nobel Prize recipients in 1901 went home $17,451 richer — that’s about $561,649.14 in today’s money. The prize began losing value right away until it was worth less than half of ...
In 2017, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Japan Prize in Tokyo, Japan for their revolutionary invention of CRISPR-Cas9. In 2016, Charpentier, Doudna, and Zhang won the Tang Prize in Biopharmaceutical Science. [295] In 2020, Charpentier and Doudna were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, "for the development of a method for genome editing."
Researchers have been able to manipulate large chunks of genetic code for almost 50 years. This newfound ability is called gene-editing, the tool is called CRISPR, and it’s being used worldwide ...
Every year, the Nobel Peace Prize winner is announced for the entire world to celebrate. It's a global tradition that started when wealthy Swedish inventor and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel died in ...
She has also been a co-recipient of the Gruber Prize in Genetics (2015), [88] the Tang Prize (2016), [12] the Japan Prize (2017) and the Albany Medical Center Prize (2017). [89] In 2018, Doudna was awarded the NAS Award in Chemical Sciences , [ 90 ] the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize from the Rockefeller University , [ 91 ] and a Medal of Honor ...
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]
