October 5, 2009- Carol Greider, Ph.D., 48, one of the worlds pioneering researchers on the structure of chromosome ends known as telomeres, today was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The Academy recognized her for her 1984 discovery of telomerase (ta-LAW-mer-ace), an enzyme that maintains the length and integrity of chromosome ends and is critical for the health and survival of all living cells and organisms.

  • hallelujah!

  • Congratulations Dr. Greider! Inspiring and amazing discoveries for the great GOOD of mankind... watched the presentation in the news today on the effects of telomerase in mice and it is fascinating. I've been closely following the work of Dr. Christian Drapeau and his pioneering clinical research on the ADULT SYTEM CELL SYSTEM and the PURE HOPE all of this devoted work brings!!!!! Endless THANKS!!!!!!

  • The telomere may be anglet, but also antennae. The source of all life is the Sun, so the connection of DNA to the Sun, via bio-photons, should not be entirely unexpected....

  • 25 years ago - wow they had to wait a long time for the NP. I looked for these vids last year, but nothing on Dr. Greider or Blackburn until now.

    I've been following them off and on for about ten years now.

    They are like the Watson & Crick of the modern era of genetic research.

    It was a no-brainer for me - i had them down for this many years ago!

  • Telomerase is probably my favorite enzyme. I'm am learning all about cancer in my bio class, and it is just so cool how the DNA's integrity is kept by telomeres. cancer takes advantage of telomerase to keep the mutations intact.
