Harnessing the Next Generation of Genome Editing for Global Impact with Jennifer Doudna

Show by UCTV
CRISPR gene editing grew out of curiosity-driven research into how bacteria defend themselves against viruses. Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna and Kit Pogliano, dean of UC San Diego's School of Biological Sciences, discuss how that discovery became a powerful research tool. Doudna describes the Innovative Genomics Institute's partnership with UC San Diego and potential work on rare diseases and ocean-related research. They examine an FDA-approved sickle cell disease therapy, the challenges of delivery, cost, and access, ethical responsibilities, and the value of basic science for young researchers.
