“I don't think of myself as a role model, but I can see that I am.” — Jennifer Doudna Quote

“I don't think of myself as a role model, but I can see that I am.”

“There's already a lot of active research going on using the Crispr technology to fix diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy or cystic fibrosis or Huntington's disease. They're all diseases that have known genetic causes, and we now have the technology that can repair those mutations to provide, we hope, patients with a normal life.”

“One can envisage taking cells from a patient with sickle-cell anaemia or an inherited blood disorder and using the Cas9 system to fix the underlying genetic cause of the disease by putting those cells back into the patient and allowing them to make copies of themselves to support the patient's blood.”

“You just have to know that there's people watching you, and you've got to be a positive role model and not put yourself in bad situations.”

“I want to make sure I'm a role model for young girls and play the best I can for my team and my country.”

“I would love to be a role model.”
