HHMI Nobel Laureates
David Baker, PhD
2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
HHMI Investigator David Baker was honored for using computational methods to design new proteins – the building blocks of life – which have already proven to be a powerful tool for creating new materials and medical treatments.
Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD
2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
HHMI Investigator Carolyn Bertozzi was honored for the development of bioorthogonal chemistry, which enables scientists to create targeted chemical reactions in living organisms without disrupting normal biological processes.
Jennifer Doudna, PhD
2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
HHMI Investigator Jennifer Doudna was honored for discovering how CRISPR/Cas9 – part of a bacteria’s immune system – could be harnessed as a genetic “cut-and-paste” tool. This breakthrough has opened the door to numerous medical applications.
