Today on World CRISPR Day, we would like to highlight our two chemistry laureates Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier.
In 2012, they developed a method for high-precision gene editing, which has transformed the field of biotechnology and medicine. The genetic scissors became known as CRISPR/Cas9. In 2020 their breakthrough was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Watch this interview of Doudna explaining how CRISPR has evolved since then: bit.ly/3U5DTNQ

Show us why the “V” matters to you by sharing a photo of yourself making the V sign just like this.
Whether it’s digitally, with paint, or any creative way you can imagine, we can’t wait to see you "paint" your hand red and hear why the “V” matters to you!
