Into the Future with CRISPR Technology with Jennifer Doudna

(4:54 - Main Presentation, 54:36 - Q&A)
Jennifer Doudna, co-discoverer of CRISPR-Cas9 and winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, discusses how genome editing with CRISPR technology is transforming biology. CRISPR-Cas9, an RNA-guided enzyme with remarkable abilities to recognize and cleave DNA, operates by mechanisms that both explain its biological function and provide insights into technology development. Doudna covers research into this amazing family of proteins: where they came from, how they work and how CAS-9-based technologies are revolutionizing research, biomedicine and agriculture. Recorded on 10/07/2019. [11/2019] [Show ID: 35215]

Great discovery after huge amount of work and dedication of researchers. CONGRATULATION

[iraklitos]

Prime editing has just appeared! What a time to be alive!

[bhawanisinghmeena]

Impressive lecture . Hope you are able to contrbute to the effort to save humanity from the menace of covid 19 .We look forward to hear about the success of your endeavours

[sirus]

We come a long way...and what a long time coming! 2020 will be action packed

Genome modifying human and nonhuman. curing genetic disease, reshape the biosphere for the benefit of the environment. Jennifer is someone who could add prestige to this prize.

So can u tell me how David is doing today???

[jerrydriscoll]

wow that was great. by the way I am 8 and my name is Rozie.

Why are some ants left-handed, by meaning that they can move by a pair of left handed false pair of walking legs attached to left antenna and the first left sided thoracic leg.There is no clue about the bacterial function of a RNA mis-guided enzyme "CRISPR-cas9 which is not about how the Central Dogma is edited by mutation in an ant. 16:15

Question? Quantum's Chimera ? Or crispy creams.
To create aminos non bias and cut copy paste . do not complain of that which you create....

A fantastic speaker. Very easy to follow and understand. It's too bad that no speaker on this subject talks about the previous use—and it's fantastic success in the Ukraine and Russia—of bacteriophages in the cure of bacterial infections. Why? A conflict of interest. Use bacteriophages and there's no multi-billion dollar vaccine industry.

Agriculture doesn't need to be manipulated. But, Will have a very big negative impact

[ravenwolf]

YES ITS HERE "THE MARK OF THE BEAST" PERIOD! NO MATTER HOW YOU COVER IT, TO EDIT THE LIFE CODE IS TO CHANGE THE HUMAN GENOME AND THAT IS! YOUR NO LONGER HUMAN BUT A BEAST! THE MARK SIMPLY TELEGRAPHS THAT! GOD WILL NOT RECONISE WHAT HE CREATED AND YOUR NOT IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, YOUR NAME IS YOUR DNA ID CHANGED NOW REMOVED FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE TO THE HELL OF THE BEAST KINGDOM FOREVER! CAN I BE WRONG? SURE I AM STILL HUMAN THANK GOD!

Sounds like the days of Noah before the flood

We need to expand in to the galaxy If we can live longer... or it will get crowded here and chaos will reign.

[eyewitness]

smart people, well God didn't know what he was doing so (we) are going to fix it.

[Ai-hedp]

Jennifer is beautiful, humble and intelligent what else could a man ask for.

[lilliansgut]

labeling things 'non-gmo' signals to customers that it's a niche kind-of health thing, a 'perk'. when really, it's more about the superstitious belief that we shouldn't play god. however, industrial farms tend to be environmentally degrading whether or not they use GMO seeds.

[cholasoz]

A shocking kick ass discovery. And it's woman/women. Hell yea!! And female scientist or (or me finding a female even interested in it) seems impossible to find, but if she acknowledged such, than yes we need to jump onboard. I'm amazed, whether you agree with crispr or not, 2 women . Yes!! 👍🎉🎊

Eureka moment belongs to Virginijus Siksnys who discovered cas9. In order to hit one from 4000 possible options you need to be an nostradamus or a smart guy like Virginijys. Doudna, start naming this name and stop pretending that you invented cas9! Write it down: Virginus Siksnys!
