Jennifer, who holds joint appointments at Berkeley in Molecular and Cell Biology and Chemistry, is an exceptional scientist, whose capacity to solve important scientific questions at an atomic level is balanced by her unsurpassed knowledge of the life sciences in general. The extraordinary and well-deserved honor of the Nobel Prize reflects her brilliance, ingenuity, and deep dedication to human health and the ethical use of scientific discovery to improve life on this planet. Jennifer and her research team have toiled untold hours to perfect CRISPR-Cas9 and to pursue applications that serve the public good. I am proud of Berkeley’s long partnership with Jennifer, and I wish her all the best as she continues her groundbreaking work. We will be with her every step of the way. Please join me in congratulating Jennifer Doudna on the tremendous honor of her Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
