Nobel laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier, professor at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin and visiting professor at Ume\u00e5 University, becomes an honorary citizen of Ume\u00e5 municipality. She is awarded for the luminosity that her ground-breaking and multi-awarded research has brought to Ume\u00e5 University and Ume\u00e5.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels very honourable to be made an honorary citizen of Ume\u00e5 municipality. I came here on a cold winter's day with a hypothesis and a research idea. Here I got a department management that believed in me, a laboratory with good resources and a city that had everything I could need to live a good life and conduct my research. Here I had the opportunity to realize and develop what would result in a Nobel Prize after only a few years. Ume\u00e5 is a hospitable city that will forever be in my heart, says Emmanuelle Charpentier\u201d.<\/p>\n

An honorary citizen of Ume\u00e5 can be appointed to a person who, without being a resident of Ume\u00e5, actively contributed to Ume\u00e5's development, in word and deed showed the city their love or otherwise made Ume\u00e5 known and respected.<\/p>\n

The presidium of the municipal council writes in its justification:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emmanuelle Charpentier has made a scientific discovery that has created worldwide attention. Her work has in a unique way increased the visibility of the in many parts world-leading research at Ume\u00e5 University. It will attract people to the university and to the city of Ume\u00e5 for the foreseeable future. In her interviews, she has also talked about Ume\u00e5 as a place that gave her time, good living conditions and resources, which made it possible to devote herself wholeheartedly to her research.<\/em><\/p>\n

Emmanuelle Charpentier is also an important source of inspiration for young people in Ume\u00e5 and not least for young women. Before she and Jennifer Doudna were awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the prize had previously only been awarded to five women. Emmanuelle Charpentier has shown that it is possible regardless of gender, with scientific brilliance, to take a place in the academic world and in the highly competitive and male-dominated scientific research. The commitment to young people is also reflected in the opportunity she has to offer young researchers places as postdocs in research groups within Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, MIMS, at Ume\u00e5 University.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is difficult to fully understand and appreciate the discovery that Emmanuelle Charpentier has made at Ume\u00e5 University, but we know that it will be of great importance, not least when it comes to the development of new forms of medical treatment and when it comes to research connected to crops. Emmanuelle Charpentier is a source of inspiration for the young people in Ume\u00e5 and is herself proof of the innovative power that exists here. In Ume\u00e5 there are all the possibilities, says Marie-Louise R\u00f6nnmark, Mayor in Ume\u00e5 Municipality\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdded to this is everything she has told in interviews about Ume\u00e5 University, about the good life in Ume\u00e5 and the opportunities the city has given her. It has made an impression both in Sweden and internationally in a way we have never experienced before. We are extremely grateful for her efforts and they are the reason why we are now awarding her the title of honorary citizen, says Marie-Louise R\u00f6nnmark\u201d.<\/p>\n

About Emmanuelle Charpentier<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2009, Emmanuelle Charpentier was recruited to Ume\u00e5 University as a research leader at the Department of Molecular Biology and MIMS. In 2012, she published the first article about her discovery in the respected scientific journal Science. Since 2015, she is head of a research department at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin. Through a donation from the Kempestiftelserna and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, she was awarded the Emmanuelle Charpenter EC Jubilee Prize at Ume\u00e5 University in the same year, which gives her the opportunity to offer young researchers a postdoctoral position in research groups within Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, MIMS, at Ume\u00e5 University.<\/p>\n

Since 2016, she has been an associate honorary professor at the Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin. In 2017, she was promoted to honorary doctorate at Ume\u00e5 University. In 2018, she founded and became director of the independent institute Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens, also in Berlin.<\/p>\n
