El código de la vida / The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human (Spanish Edition) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Walter Isaacson vuelve a fascinarnos, esta vez con la historia de Jennifer Doudna, Premio Nobel de Quķmica 2020, y el avance cientķfico mįs importante del śltimo siglo.
Hay una revolución en marcha, una tecnologķa prodigiosa que nos va a permitir curar enfermedades, derrotar virus y tener hijos mįs sanos. A su cabeza estį la reciente premio Nobel Jennifer Doudna y sus colegas, protagonistas del nuevo libro de Walter Isaacson.
Aunque su profesor de instituto le advirtió que las nińas no podķan ser cientķficas, su bśsqueda 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 mįs importante en el įmbito de la biologķa desde el descubrimiento de la doble hélice del ADN. Con su equipo, transformó una curiosidad de la naturaleza en una herramienta que cambiarį el rumbo del ser humano. El CRISPR, una técnica fįcil de usar que permite modificar el ADN, lo que abre un mundo nuevo de milagros médicos pero también de cuestiones morales.
El desarrollo del CRISPR (y la carrera por encontrar la vacuna del coronavirus) acelerarįn nuestra transición a la siguiente gran revolución. Los śltimos cincuenta ańos han sido una era digital basada en el microchip, el ordenador e internet. Ahora comienza la revolución de las ciencias de la vida. A los estudiantes de código digital se les unirįn los que estudian el código genético.
æDeberķamos usar nuestras nuevas capacidades para hacernos menos vulnerables a los virus? æY para prevenir la depresión? æDeberķamos aceptar que las familias que se lo puedan permitir mejoren la constitución fķsica o la inteligencia de sus hijos? Tras dirigir el equipo que descubrió la tecnologķa CRISPR, Doudna ha liderado los debates en torno a estas cuestiones morales.
Obtuvo, junto con su colaboradora Emmanuelle Charpentier, el Premio Nobel de Quķmica en 2020. Su historia es una apasionante aventura que atraviesa las maravillas mįs profundas de la naturaleza, de los orķgenes 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 on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code.
Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? Hmmm…Should we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids?
After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is a thrilling detective tale that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.
