(4:54 Main Presentation, 54:36 Q&A)
Jennifer Doudna, codiscoverer of CRISPRCas9 and winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, discusses how genome editing with CRISPR technology is transforming biology. CRISPRCas9, an RNAguided enzyme with remarkable abilities to recognize and cleave DNA, operates by mechanisms that both explain its biological function and provide insights into technology development. Doudna covers research into this amazing family of proteins: where they came from, how they work and how CAS9based technologies are revolutionizing research, biomedicine and agriculture.
