Emmanuelle Charpentier
Shared the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Jennifer Doudna for CRISPR gene editing. Born in Juvisy-sur-Orge, south of Paris.
Emmanuelle Marie Charpentier is a French academic, microbiologist, geneticist, and biochemist. She has served as a director at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin since 2015. Three years later, she founded an independent research institute, the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens. In 2020, Charpentier and American biochemist Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing". This was the first science Nobel Prize ever won by two women only.

Emmanuelle Charpentier is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
