“My wish is that this will provide a positive message specifically to the young girls who would like to follow the path of science, and to show them that women in science can also be awarded prizes. But, most importantly, that women in science can also have an impact through the research that they are performing.”
- last year's chemistry laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier shortly after hearing the news about her Nobel Prize.
Charpentier shared the award with Jennifer Doudna for discovering one of gene technology’s sharpest tools: the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. Using these genetic scissors, researchers can edit the genome of practically all living things.
Which discovery will be awarded the chemistry prize this year? Stay tuned for hearing the news very soon!
Grateful thanks to
