Tech & Science Daily: The Nobel Prize winner editing our DNA | IWD ‘22

To mark International Women's Day, this week on Tech & Science Daily, we're hearing from some of the leading women in their fields.

We're kicking things off with biochemist and Nobel prize winner, Dr Jennifer Doudna.

She won a 2020 Nobel prize for her discovery, which is changing the game in the way we protect people, animals and plants from disease.

While studying bacteria in 2012, Jennifer discovered a way of cutting into DNA, and providing it with new instructions to help fight against diseases.

She discusses how she made her discovery, how the technology is being used today to treat blood disorders, and how it could be used in the future.
