Scientists Emmanuel Carpentier and Jennifer A. Dodna, who invented the revolutionary technique of gene editing "Crisper", won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
This is the first time that a joint Nobel Prize in Science has been awarded to women.
The announcement was made by Professor Goran K. Hansen, Secretary General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He said the two women were rewarded for discovering a genome editing technique that could be used to change the DNA of animals, trees and microorganisms.
Nobel laureate in chemistry Emmanuel Carpentier is from France, while Jennifer Dodna is an American scientist.
Experts say that this invention of these women scientists has revolutionary effects and will lead to the development of new ways to treat diseases such as cancer, while in the future due to this technique will be possible to cure many hereditary diseases. ۔
