Molecular and cell biology professor Jennifer Doudna, co-inventor of the CRISPR gene-editing technology, discusses the popup COVID-19 testing lab she's directing at the Innovative Genomic Institute on campus. Asked what her lab is doing differently than other labs, which are taking much longer to turn out test results, Professor Doudna says: "Well, we have a highly automated system. We were able to get robots into our lab quickly by donations from companies and faculty around the UC Berkeley campus. We have a team of people who are highly trained in how to run these robots and also how to manage the data coming out of the tests. ... And it's been amazing to see this operation come together so quickly with a team of people that, you know, three short weeks ago had no idea they would be doing this kind of work, but who recognized they could lend their experience to this effort."
