By Walter Isaacson The coronavirus pandemic forced Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier to accept the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry virtually, instead of actually attending the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’ annual December ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall, where the king of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf, would have given each of them an 18-karat gold medal along with a congratulatory handshake. This year’s gala, like so many events everywhere, was canceled for the first tim...

In recent years, therapeutic antibodies have transformed the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Biochemist Jennifer Doudna, who shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the gene-editing technique which has the potential to cure diseases caused by genetic mutations, and Walter Isaacson, author of "The Code Breaker," talk about the promise of the biotech revolution.

With a relatively minor genetic change, a new treatment developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University appears to stop replication of both flu viruses and the virus that causes Covid-19.

The latest book from the bestselling biographer of geniuses from da Vinci and Franklin to Einstein and Jobs tells the story of Jennifer Doudna and the creation (and moral questioning) of the gene-editing technology CRISPR.

New technique uncovers the tricks used by cancer cells to evade immunotherapies By harnessing the immune system against cancer, immunotherapies have revolutionized the way some types of cancer are treated. But most patients--across cancer types--do not respond, and in most cases, scientists are at a loss as to why. Researchers at Columbia and MIT have created a new technique that can uncover nearly all of the tricks cancer cells use to evade immunotherapies, which could lead to the development ...
