Emmanuelle Charpentier. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020. Born: 11 December 1968, Juvisy-sur-Orge, France. Affiliation at the time of the award: Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens, Berlin, Germany. Prize motivation: “for the development of a method for genome editing”. Prize share: 1/2.
Emmanuelle is best known for her and her lab’s research on the CRISPR-Cas9 adaptive immune system in the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes and other bacterial species, which laid the foundation for the development of a highly versatile and specific genome editing and engineering technology.
Emmanuelle Charpentier is a French scientist who discovered, with American biochemist Jennifer Doudna, a molecular tool known as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9. Their discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 in 2012 laid the foundation for gene editing.
