VOICED : Dos mujeres genetistas de Francia y EEUU ganan el Nobel de Química

Two geneticists, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on molecular scissors, a gene-editing tool. This tool, discovered eight years ago, has significantly advanced cancer therapies and the treatment of hereditary diseases. It allows precise DNA modifications, offering potential for future applications. However, ethical concerns arise, as seen in a case where unintended mutations occurred during an attempt to create HIV-resistant embryos.
