Nobel laureate Charpentier pens message for girls, says 'women in science can have impact'

Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna recently won bel Prize in Chemistry "for development of a method for geme editing.” Royal Swedish Acemy of Sciences h said that Chemistry Laureates Charpentier and Doudna discovered one of gene techlogy’s sharpest tools - CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. In terms of rights and women’s visibility in science, two winners also did rewrite history. 

While taking to Twitter, bel Prize Committee shared a statement by Charpentier following her big win. Chemistry laureate said that that she wishes to send a ‘positive mess’ to young girls who would like to follow path of science in future. Charpentier said that she wanted to show that women in science can also have an impact through research.

Charpentier published her discovery in 2011 and, later in year, initiated a collaboration with Doudna. two Chemistry Laureates succeeded in recreating bacteria’s genetic scissors in a test tube and simplifying scissors’ molecular components so y were easier to use. duo n reprogrammed genetic scissors.
