Dear Friends of the College of Letters & Science:

You may have already heard this incredible news, but I am thrilled to share
with you that UC Berkeley’s Professor Jennifer Doudna was awarded the 2020
Nobel Prize in Chemistry *“for the development of a method for genome
editing.”* She shares this award with Professor Emmanuelle Charpentier of
the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin.

Jennifer, who holds joint appointments at Berkeley in Molecular and Cell
Biology and Chemistry, is an exceptional scientist, whose capacity to solve
important scientific questions at an atomic level is balanced by her
unsurpassed knowledge of the life sciences in general. The extraordinary
and well-deserved honor of the Nobel Prize reflects her brilliance,
ingenuity, and deep dedication to human health and the ethical use of
scientific discovery to improve life on this planet.

Jennifer and her research team have toiled untold hours to perfect
CRISPR-Cas9 and to pursue applications that serve the public good. I am
proud of Berkeley’s long partnership with Jennifer, and I wish her all the
best as she continues her groundbreaking work. We will be with her every
step of the way.

Please join me in congratulating Jennifer Doudna on the tremendous honor of
her Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For more information, you can read the
