Life Sciences
The Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens (MPUSP) is an independent institute of the Max Planck Society that was founded by its director, Pr. Emmanuelle Charpentier, in 2018. The institute is dedicated to the study of the fundamental molecular and cellular regulatory mechanisms in Gram-positive bacterial pathogens causing disease in humans. Pr. E. Charpentier has been widely recognized for her groundbreaking research which laid the foundation for the development of a highly versatile and specific genome editing and engineering technology. This discovery is revolutionising life science research and opening up new opportunities in the field of biotechnologies and biomedical gene therapies that have an impact on society and humanity. She has received numerous prestigious international awards and honors, including the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020.
