Nobel Prize 2020 - Jennifer Doudna of United States and Emmanuelle Charpentier of
France on October 7, 2020 won the Nobel Chemistry Prize for the gene-editing technique
known as the CRISPR-Cas9 DNA snipping "scissors", the first time a Nobel science prize
has gone to a women-only team.
The recipients were announced on October 7 2020, in Stockholm by Goran Hansson,
Secretary General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The prestigious award comes with a gold medal and prize money of 10 million krona (more than $1.1 million), courtesy of a bequest left more than a century ago by the prize’s creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. The amount was increased recently to adjust for inflation.
