Jennifer Anne Doudna ForMemRS (/ ˈdaʊdnə /; [1] born February 19, 1964) [2] is an American biochemist who has pioneered work in CRISPR gene editing, and made other fundamental contributions in biochemistry and genetics. Doudna was one of the first women to share a Nobel in the sciences.
Jennifer Doudna is a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, and a Professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology. Her research focuses on RNA as it forms a variety of complex globular structures, some of which function like enzymes or form functional complexes with proteins.
Jennifer Doudna (born February 19, 1964, Washington, D.C.) is an American biochemist best known for her discovery, with French microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier, of a molecular tool known as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9.
The outbreak motivated me to pivot to RNA interference, a phenomenon that plays a fundamental role in a number of important functions, including how the human immune system fights off viral infections. RNA interference silences unwanted genetic messages, thereby blocking the production of the proteins they code for.
