"The CRISPRCas9 Genome Engineering Revolution"

Jennifer A. Doudna, PhD | Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, Professor of Chemistry and Molecular & Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, Li Ka Shing Chancellor's Chair in Biomedical Sciences

Dr. Doudna's lab pursues mechanistic understanding of fundamental biological processes involving RNA molecules. Research in the lab is currently focused on three major areas: bacterial immunity via the CRISPR system, RNA interference in eukaryotes, and translational control logic. We utilize diverse techniques including Xray crystallography, highthroughput sequencing, biochemistry, molecular biology, and eukaryotic cell culture.
