Rodolphe Barrangou is the Todd R. Klaenhammer Distinguished Professor in Probiotics Research in the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences at North Carolina State University; Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CRISPR Biotechnologies; Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Ancilia Biosciences; Co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer of TreeCo; and Co-Founder and member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Intellia Therapeutics. His research focuses on CRISPR-Cas9 in bacteria.[1]
In 2017, Barrangou was named[2] Editor-in-Chief of The CRISPR Journal, a peer-reviewed journal covering the field of genome editing and CRISPR research, which debuted in February 2018.
He was elected as a member into the National Academy of Sciences in 2018.[3] He was also elected into the National Academy of Engineering in 2019 for the discovery of CRISPR-Cas genome editing and engineering microbes, plants, and animals for food and other applications.
Background
[edit]Dr Barrangou's research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, US Department of Agriculture, and institutional grants.[4] He previously worked as an adjunct professor of Food Science at Pennsylvania State University, and R&D Director of Genomics at DuPont.
In 2007, Barrangou was the first author on a paper published in Science providing experimental proof for the immune function of CRISPR.[5] He has worked with Jennifer Doudna on Cas9 guided RNA characterization. He has been awarded 17 patents as of 2016.[4]
