It's a Nobel Prize for Jennifer Doudna '85

Dear XXX,

Here at Pomona, we're thrilled that Jennifer Doudna '85 and her research collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier have been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking development of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool. They join five previous women chemists to be so honored and are the first female duo to win since the award was initiated in 1901. Well done!

A recent guest on Sagecast, the Pomona College podcast, Doudna discusses, among other things, her discovery of science as a child in Hilo, Hawaii, her mentors at Pomona College, her work in the labs of two Nobel laureates, the collaborative work in her own lab at Berkeley that led to the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 and her leadership in developing ethical standards for the use of this powerful gene-editing tool. Give it a listen.

Current Pomona students continue to push scientific boundaries through their research with faculty. Physics Professor Tom Moore's NSF grant to study gravitational waves (expanding on his work with Yijun "Ali" Wang '19, now a graduate student in physics at Caltech) provides three years of funding for undergraduate researchers, while Chemistry Professor Nicholas Ball continues his work with students on new chemical reactions that can facilitate drug target discovery through a recent NIH grant. And Geology Professor Maria Prokopenko has been able to involve students in remote database research through her NSF grant to study the distribution of a nitrogen isotope over the life cycle and skeletal afterlife of cold-water corals.
