We have already discovered a few techniques in biotechnology, but the CRISPR-Cas9 system is one of the most interesting. Inspired by the bacterial immune response to viruses, this localized gene editing technique won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020, awarded to Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier. How did they develop this method? What can it be used for? Let's see the full story!
