HER LIFE
Jennifer Doudna was born the 19th February of 1964 in Washington, D.C.. When Doudna was seven years old, her father completed his thesis and moved his wife and three daughters from Michigan to Hawaii to teach American literature at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. She was fascinated by the environmental beauty of the island and its exotic plants and animals; she wanted to understand the underlying biological mechanisms. She was interested in biochemistry since she read a book when she was 12.
HER STUDIES
She held research fellowships in molecular biology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and in genetics at Harvard Medical School.
She entered Pomona College in Claremont, California to study Biochemistry.
Doudna worked to uncover the structure and biological function of RNA enzymes or ribozymes.
She started her first scientific research in the lab of Sharon Panasenko.
JENNIFER DOUDNA AND EMMANUELLE CHARPENTIER
Together with the French microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier, she led the discovery of the revolutionary gene-editing tool, Crispr. This Technology has the potential to eradicate previously incurable diseases, but also asks ethical questions about the possible unintended consequences of overwriting the human genome.
PRIZES
