Description

This sweeping account follows the scientists behind CRISPR, the revolutionary gene-editing technology that transformed modern biology and opened new possibilities for treating disease. At its center is Jennifer Doudna, whose scientific journey unfolds alongside the fierce international race to understand and harness a powerful tool for altering life’s most fundamental code. The narrative explores ambition, collaboration, competition, and the personal stakes of discovery while making complex science accessible to a broad audience. It also confronts the profound ethical questions raised by gene editing, from medical breakthroughs to the prospect of changing human heredity.
