UC Berkeley’s Jennifer Doudna wins 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Doudna is the first woman on the Berkeley faculty to win a Nobel Prize. She and Charpentier also became the first women in history to win a Nobel in the sciences together.

Last week, the Nobel Committee for Chemistry announced that this year’s chemistry laureates are Jennifer Doudna, a former Yale researcher, and Emmanuelle Charpentier, a Berlin-based biology researcher, for their development of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technique.

Doudna conducted some of her groundbreaking work at Yale in the field of structural RNA before moving to the University of California, Berkeley in 2002, where she is now a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology.

According to the Nobel Prize website, Doudna started collaborating with her co-laureate — Charpentier of the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens — on the CRISPR-Cas9 system in 2011. Together, they discovered a novel mechanism for editing genomes which has gone on to revolutionize lab studies.

Doudna conducted some of her earlier work at Yale, where she held first an assistant and then a tenured professorship from 1994 to 2002. Prior to her time at Yale, Doudna worked with previous Nobel laureates Thomas Cech and Jack Szostak on the structures and functions of RNA molecules.

Doudna hopes that her winning the Nobel Prize shows young women that a career in science is a real possibility. “While the prize to an all-women team is certainly a step in the right direction, there is still a lot of inequality in the way we train, hire and reward people in the sciences. Getting girls into STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) takes representation, it takes real-life examples and investment in early education for girls.”

This year also marks the first time the award is being given to an all-female science team.
