CRISPR-Cas Technology

Share


We are excited to present all of the resources that we have on the Nobel Prize winning discovery of the use of CRISPR-Cas as a method for genome editing. Dr. Jennifer Doudna and Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier earned the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this development. This breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. Explore our resources and learn more about this technology!


Feature Documentary

Human Nature

Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future. Find out more about the film on the Wonder Collaborative website.


Interviews and Profiles

To learn about the seminal experiments that led to the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry from the scientists themselves, take a look at these short films about the story behind the headlines.
