A week ago, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry<\/a> \u2018for the development of a method for genome editing\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A career under the sign of Marie Curie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr Charpentier has been a MSCA fellow<\/strong>. More recently, she was supervisor <\/strong>in the training of young researchers in genomics in the MSCA project ENLIGHT-TEN ITN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, her career is marked by the \u201cCurie\u201d sign. Indeed, she has studied biochemistry, microbiology and genetics, and was assistant professor at the Pierre and Marie Curie University<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A successful programme for the researchers\u2019 career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is not the first time that a researcher involved a MSC Action has been awarded the Nobel Prize. The European Commission has listed all Nobel Prize laureates<\/a> who have been either MSCA fellows or supervisors in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme was established in 1996<\/strong> to promote the excellence of research through dedicated training and research programmes and the international mobility of scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After more than 20 years we can expect that other former MSCA fellows and supervisors will be awarded with prestigious prizes in all disciplines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably, this is the best proof of the quality of the EU programme Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions<\/strong> and its impact on the researchers\u2019 career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It couldn\u2019t be otherwise for a funding programme named after a person who won the Nobel Prize twice, in Physics (1903) and in Chemistry (1911).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
