Creators Of Gene “Scissors” Clinch Nobel Prize In Chemistry

Creators -of -Gene -"Scissors" -Clinch -Nobel -Prize -In -Chemistry

Two scientists won 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for creating genetic ‘scissors’ that could rewrite code of life, contributing to new cancer therapies as well as holding out the prospect of curing hereditary diseases.

Emmanuelle Charpentier, a French, and American Jennifer Doudna share the 10 million Swedish crown and $1.1 million prize for developing CRISPR tool to edit DNA of animals, plants as well as microorganisms with correct precision.

“The ability to cut the DNA where you want has revolutionized the life sciences,” Pernilla Wittung Stafshede of the Swedish Academy of Sciences to said in the ceremony.

Charpentier, 51, and Doudna, 56, became the sixth and seventh women to win the Nobel for chemistry who joined Marie Curie, who won the same in 1911, whereas more recently, Frances Arnold, in 2018.

This is the first time since 1964 when Britain’s Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin alone won the nobel award, and no men are listed among chemistry prize winners.

Charpentier, of the Max Planck Unit for Science of Pathogens, told journalists in Berlin “extremely emotional and extremely moved by the award, which arrived as complete surprise”.

The first Nobel won by two women invented how “science becomes more modern and develops more female leaders”, she said after setting down a glass of wine to pose for the cameras alongside a bust of Planck, the 1918 Physics Nobel laureate.

The head of the Academy asked Charpentier for Doudna’s cellphone number to break the news, only to be beaten to the punch by a reporter – at 3 a.m. on the U.S. West Coast.
“She wanted to know if I could comment on Nobel and I said, ‘Well, who won it?’,” Doudna said, breaking into a laugh.

Doudna is an employee in CRISPR in the battle against coronavirus as co-founder of biotech startup Mammoth, which has tied up with Glaxo Smith Kline to develop a test to detect infections.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
