French microbiologist, biochemist and Nobel laureate
Emmanuelle Marie Charpentier (French pronunciation: [emanɥɛl maʁi ʃaʁpɑ̃tje] ; born 11 December 1968[ 2] ) is a French professor and researcher inmicrobiology ,genetics , andbiochemistry .[ 1] She has served as a director at theMax Planck Institute for Infection Biology inBerlin since 2015. Three years later, she founded an independentresearch institute , the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens.[ 3] In 2020, Charpentier and American biochemistJennifer Doudna of theUniversity of California, Berkeley , were awarded theNobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of a method forgenome editing " (throughCRISPR ). This was the first science Nobel Prize ever won by two women only.[ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
Early life and education [ edit ] Charpentier's paternal grandfather, surnamed Sinanian, was anArmenian who escaped to France during theArmenian Genocide and met his wife inMarseille .[ 7] Charpentier was born in 1968 inJuvisy-sur-Orge in France and studied biochemistry, microbiology, and genetics at thePierre and Marie Curie University (which became the Faculty of Science ofSorbonne University ) in Paris.[ 8] She was a graduate student at theInstitut Pasteur from 1992 to 1995 and was awarded a research doctorate. Charpentier's PhD work investigated molecular mechanisms involved inantibiotic resistance .[ 9]
Career and research [ edit ] TheMax Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin, Germany Charpentier worked as a university teaching assistant at Pierre and Marie Curie University from 1993 to 1995 and as a postdoctoral fellow at theInstitut Pasteur from 1995 to 1996. She moved to the US and worked as a postdoctoral fellow atRockefeller University in New York from 1996 to 1997. During this time, Charpentier worked in the lab of microbiologistElaine Tuomanen .[ 10] Tuomanen's lab investigated how the pathogenStreptococcus pneumoniae utilizes mobile genetic elements to alter its genome. Charpentier also helped to demonstrate howS. pneumoniae developsvancomycin resistance.[ 11]
Charpentier was an assistant research scientist at theNew York University Medical Center from 1997 to 1999. She worked in the lab of Pamela Cowin, a skin-cell biologist interested in mammalian gene manipulation. Charpentier published a paper exploring the regulation of hair growth in mice.[ 12] She held the position of Research Associate at theSt. Jude Children's Research Hospital and at theSkirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine [ 13] in New York from 1999 to 2002.[ 8]
After five years in the United States, Charpentier returned to Europe and became the lab head and a guest professor at the Institute of Microbiology and Genetics,University of Vienna , from 2002 to 2004. In 2004, Charpentier published her discovery of an RNA molecule involved in the regulation of virulence-factor synthesis inStreptococcus pyogenes .[ 14] From 2004 to 2006, she was lab head and an assistant professor at the Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology. In 2006, she became aprivatdozentin (Microbiology) and received herhabilitation at the Centre of Molecular Biology. From 2006 to 2009 she worked as lab head and associate professor at theMax F. Perutz Laboratories .[ 8]
Charpentier moved to Sweden and became lab head and associate professor at the Laboratory forMolecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS), atUmeå University . She held the position of group leader from 2008 to 2013 and was visiting professor from 2014 to 2017.[ 15] She moved to Germany to act as department head and W3 Professor at theHelmholtz Centre for Infection Research [ 16] in Braunschweig and theHannover Medical School from 2013 until 2015. In 2014, she became anAlexander von Humboldt Professor .[ 8]
In 2015, Charpentier accepted an offer from the GermanMax Planck Society to become a scientific member of the society and a director at theMax Planck Institute for Infection Biology inBerlin . Since 2016, she has been an Honorary Professor atHumboldt University in Berlin. Charpentier retained her position as visiting professor at Umeå University until the end of 2017 when a new donation from the Kempe Foundations and theKnut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation allowed her to offer more young researchers positions within research groups of the MIMS Laboratory.[ 17] In 2018, she became the founding and acting director of theMax Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens .[ 8] [ 18] [ 19]
Charpentier is best known for her Nobel-winning work of deciphering the molecular mechanisms of a bacterial immune system, calledCRISPR /Cas9 , and repurposing it into a tool forgenome editing . In particular, she uncovered a novel mechanism for the maturation of a non-coding RNA which is pivotal in the function of CRISPR/Cas9, demonstrating that a small RNA calledtracrRNA is essential for the maturation of crRNA.[ 20]
In 2011, Charpentier metJennifer Doudna at a research conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and they began a collaboration.[ 10] Working with Doudna's laboratory, Charpentier's laboratory showed that Cas9 could be used to make cuts in anyDNA sequence desired.[ 21] [ 22] The method they developed involved the combination of Cas9 with easily created synthetic "guide RNA" molecules. Synthetic guide RNA is a chimera of crRNA and tracrRNA; therefore, this discovery demonstrated that the CRISPR-Cas9 technology could be used to edit the genome with relative ease.[ 22] Researchers worldwide have employed this method successfully to edit the DNA sequences of plants, animals, and laboratorycell lines . Since its discovery, CRISPR has revolutionized genetics by allowing scientists to edit genes to probe their role in health and disease and to develop genetic therapies with the hope that it will prove safer and more effective than the first generation of gene therapies.[ 6]
In 2013, Charpentier co-foundedCRISPR Therapeutics and ERS Genomics along with Shaun Foy and Rodger Novak.[ 23]
Emmanuelle Charpentier in the Senate Chamber ofYork University in 2016, after giving herGairdner Foundation International Award Lecture In 2015,Time magazine designated Charpentier one of theTime 100 most influential people in the world (together with Jennifer Doudna).[ 24] [ 25]
Charpentier's awards are:
Nobel Prize in Chemistry ,[ 26] theBreakthrough Prize inLife Sciences , theLouis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine , theGruber Foundation International Prize in Genetics, theLeibniz Prize , theTang Prize , theJapan Prize , and theKavli Prize in Nanoscience. She has won theBBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award jointly withJennifer Doudna andFrancisco Mojica .[ 27]
