CRISPR Scientists

Throughout their careers, CRISPR scientists advance by receiving increases in salaries and promotions to supervisory or managerial positions, but this work also allows them to receive professional and public recognition by making scientific discoveries that improve human health or improve agricultural products and sources of bioenergy, among other applications. Some scientists choose to become college professors, write books about CRISPR technology and genetics, or start consulting firms to provide expertise to government research facilities and for-profit companies.
