Jennifer Doudna: Founder, Innovative Genomics Institute; Professor of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley (live virtual session)
Featuring Jennifer Doudna, Founder, Innovative Genomics Institute, and Nobel Laureate
Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna is a pioneering force in biosciences. She's one of the minds behind CRISPR: the groundbreaking gene-editing technology that’s been employed to develop diagnostics for the Zika virus, disease models for Alzheimer’s, and therapeutics capable of reprogramming cancer cells. Her work is vastly expanding healthcare solutions. At the same time, she’s remained dedicated to lowering the cost of patient care. In this conversation, Doudna breaks down what's next in gene-editing therapy and what's needed to ensure it's accessible to everyone. Doudna will join this session virtually.
