Jennifer Anne Doudna is an American biochemist known for her work in CRISPR gene editing, for which she was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Emmanuelle Charpentier. She is the Li Ka Shing Chancellor's Chair Professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Doudna grew up in Hilo, Hawaii. She graduated from Pomona College in 1985 and earned a Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1989. She has been an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) since 1997, and since 2018 she has held the position of senior investigator at the Gladstone Institutes. In 2012, Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier were the first to propose that CRISPR-Cas9 (enzymes from bacteria that control microbial immunity) could be used for programmable editing of genomes, which is now considered one of the most significant discoveries in the history of biology. Doudna has made fundamental contributions in biochemistry and genetics and received many prestigious awards and fellowships, including the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing", the 2000 Alan T. Waterman Award for her research on the structure of a ribozyme, and the 2015 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology. Outside the scientific community, she has been also named one of the Time 100 most influential people in 2015, and she was listed as a runner-up for Time Person of the Year in 2016 along side other CRISPR researchers. In 2017 she was the lead author of A Crack in Creation: Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution, a rare case of the first-person account of a major scientific breakthrough, aimed at the general public, being published immediately following the discovery. 10: Which of the sentences is NOT true about Jennifer Anne Doudna?
