2021 LOUNSBERY AWARD RECIPIENT: FENG ZHANG
Dr. Feng Zhang is the 2021 recipient of the Lounsbery Award for his achievements developing CRISPR tools with potential to treat diseases.
"We were honored and grateful to be the first recipients of the Richard Lounsbery Award 40 years ago. However, we were uncertain about the future of this new prize. The prestige of any award is determined by the achievements of the recipients who are chosen year after year. We are happy to see that the prestige of the Lounsbery has grown, owing to the diligence of the Juries who have chosen an outstanding group of women and men."
