Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna are influential people because of their fascinating, groundbreaking, scientific, and exceeding any other research on genetic editing. They are biologist scientist at Jennifer Doudna at the University of California in Berkeley and Emmanuelle Charpentier at Umea University in Sweden. Their genetic editing is called CRISPR it's a genetic editing that has advanced more than any other genetic editing. Where it took two years to use one now takes two weeks. They got the 2014 Dr. Paul Janssen Award for Biomedical Research for CRISPR. They are influencing because they took something and made it way more enhanced than anyone thought it could be in our age right now. This genetic editing has even advanced and helped improve some other generating editing. They deserve this award with all the gratitude of the people this will help in the future and now. We all really need to thank them for what they have done for us. Doudna and Charpentier Research …show more content…
"The transformational research by Drs. Doudna and Charpentier have uncovered molecular details of an amazing bacterial immunity mechanism. Their findings enable dramatic improvements in the speed, efficiency and flexibility of genome editing." This quote explains why Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier are such influential people. Their research is truly beneficial for humans for our future and species to keep living for years and decades and so forth. They are a great role model for women and girls. They have worked so hard, put blood and sweat, many tires some hours into their work. With all that is how they truly made this genetic editing research so
