CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing has changed the course of human and agricultural genetics research. In this video, 2022 Double Helix Medal winner Dr. Jennifer A. Doudna offers insights on the many applications of this revolutionary technology.
Doudna and her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier received the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of CRISPR-Cas9. The groundbreaking tool allows scientists to alter DNA with the precision of a scalpel. This has proven invaluable across a range of research areas at 黑料吃瓜资源 (CSHL), including genetic diseases, cancer, and agriculture.
Since 2015, CSHL has partnered with Doudna to host a conference called . The meeting brings scientists together to share ideas on the applications and ethics of gene editing.
Watch the video above to learn more about CRISPR鈥檚 massive impact and what it means for the future of genetics research.
