Walter Isaacson vuelve a fascinarnos, esta vez con la historia de Jennifer Doudna, Premio Nobel de Qu???mica 2020, y el avance cient???fico m???s importante del ???ltimo siglo. Hay una revoluci???n en marcha, una tecnolog???a prodigiosa que nos va a permitir curar enfermedades, derrotar virus y tener hijos m???s sanos. A su cabeza est??? la reciente premio Nobel Jennifer Doudna y sus colegas, protagonistas del nuevo libro de Walter Isaacson. Aunque su profesor de instituto le advirti??? que las ni???as no pod???an ser cient???ficas, su b???squeda apasionada de los mecanismos ocultos de la vida y su voluntad por convertir descubrimientos en inventos llevaron a Jennifer Doudna a participar en el avance m???s importante en el ???mbito de la biolog???a desde el descubrimiento de la doble h???lice del ADN. Con su equipo, transform??? una curiosidad de la naturaleza en una herramienta que cambiar??? el rumbo del ser humano. El CRISPR, una t???cnica f???cil de usar que permite modificar el ADN, lo que abre un mundo nuevo de milagros m???dicos pero tambi???n de cuestiones morales. El desarrollo del CRISPR (y la carrera por encontrar la vacuna del coronavirus) acelerar???n nuestra transici???n a la siguiente gran revoluci???n. Los ???ltimos cincuenta a???os han sido una era digital basada en el microchip, el ordenador e internet. Ahora comienza la revoluci???n de las ciencias de la vida. A los estudiantes de c???digo digital se les unir???n los que estudian el c???digo gen???tico. ???Deber???amos usar nuestras nuevas capacidades para hacernos menos vulnerables a los virus? ???Y para prevenir la depresi???n? ???Deber???amos aceptar que las familias que se lo puedan permitir mejoren la constituci???n f???sica o la inteligencia de sus hijos? Tras dirigir el equipo que descubri??? la tecnolog???a CRISPR, Doudna ha liderado los debates en torno a estas cuestiones morales. Obtuvo, junto con su colaboradora Emmanuelle Charpentier, el Premio Nobel de Qu???mica en 2020. Su historia es una apasionante aventura que atraviesa las maravillas m???s profundas de la naturaleza, de los or???genes de la vida al futuro de nuestra especie. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a gripping account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies. When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would. Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book's author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his co-discovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned a curiosity of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions. The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based o
