Francisco Mojica
Francisco Mojica is a Spanish microbiologist whose pioneering research laid the groundwork for the discovery of the Crispr system. He identified the unique genetic sequences in archaea that would later be recognized as key components of the Crispr technology used for genome editing. Mojica's work has been fundamental in understanding how these bacterial immune systems function, contributing to the evolution of genetic engineering techniques.
