Jennifer A. Doudna, PhD | UCLA School of Medicine 56th Annual Lectureship
"The CRISPR-Cas9 Genome Engineering Revolution" Jennifer A. Doudna, PhD | Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, Professor of Chemistry and Molecular & Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, Li Ka Shing Chancellor's Chair in Biomedical Sciences Dr. Doudna's lab pursues mechanistic understanding of fundamental biological processes involving RNA molecules. Research in the lab is currently focused on three major areas: bacterial immunity via the CRISPR system, RNA interference in eukaryotes, and translational control logic. We utilize diverse techniques including X-ray crystallography, high-throughput sequencing, biochemistry, molecular biology, and eukaryotic cell culture.
