We are delighted to celebrate Jennifer Doudna winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, sharing the award with Emmanuelle Charpentier on CRISPR-Cas9, a transformative method for genome editing! This amazing basic science discovery in the fundamental chemistry of life has opened a whole new world of opportunities to harness this chemical biology technology for the benefit of society. Wednesday, Oct.7 was a great day for Jennifer, a great day for Berkeley, and a great day for science!
