Rodolphe Barrangou is an Associate Professor of Food Science and the Todd R. Klaenhammer Distinguished Scholar in Probiotics Research at North Carolina State University. 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 to the National Academy of Sciences in 2018.[3]

Background

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]
