"It was pretty devastating," the 55-year-old University of California geneticist tells Business Insider. "He was quite shocked." Doudna had unearthed the tool, called Crispr, in early experiments with bacteria in 2012. Since then, he has envisioned dozens of applications for it, from treating diseases like sickle cell disease to creating tastier products and even growing crops . drought resistant .



For years, she has also feared that someone could secretly use it to interfere with human DNA. And that's exactly what happened when researcher He Jiankui edited the twins' DNA. To address this, Doudna says we need to provide anyone thinking about modifying the genes of human embryos with "a very concrete guide to criteria recognized by international forums." Doudna is still hopeful about Crispr's applications in other areas, such as treating diseases and creating superior foods . “I think in the next five years the most profound changes we will see in people's daily lives thanks to Crispr will be in the agricultural sector,” she says.
