If you want really to
discover something important
you need to ask maybe crazy questions
and this is really when I came to Umeå that
I developed a project that was to
somehow bring together two different
mechanisms that became
the CRISPR-Cas9 mechanism.
The CRISPR-Cas9 can be explained
as a Swiss Army knife
and that allows to repair genes.
My ultimate wish would be that
it's really a technology that
could be used to treat
cellulose human genetic disorders
and already there is a very nice effect
of the technology in basic science,
in biology and in biotechnology,
so in the plant biology field,
so it's really a transformative technology.
Umeå for me is very special
because I owe a lot to the place
that has been very inspiring for me
and also for my team and my research.
