Emmanuelle is the French feminine of Emmanuel — from the Hebrew *Immanu'el* ("God is with us"), the prophetic name in Isaiah 7:14. **Emmanuelle Charpentier (born 1968)** — **French microbiologist and biochemist who in 2020 became one of two women (with Jennifer Doudna) to share the Nobel Prize in Chemistry — the first time the Chemistry Nobel was shared by two women alone — for the discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing system**, called "genetic scissors." **Her 2011 collaboration with Doudna, published in *Science* in 2012, transformed molecular biology and laid the groundwork for treatments for sickle-cell disease, beta-thalassemia, and dozens of other conditions**. **Founding Director of the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens, Berlin (2015)**. **Kavli Prize (2018); Breakthrough Prize (2015)**.
Subject of Walter Isaacson's *The Code Breaker* (2021) — focused on Doudna and Charpentier.
Emmanuelle reduces to seven — the number of CRISPR Nobel.
