👥Biography 个人简介
Elizabeth Blackburn discovered the molecular nature of telomeres and co-discovered telomerase, earning the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Her foundational work established that telomere length and telomerase activity are central to cell aging and cancer development. She demonstrated that cancer cells reactivate telomerase to achieve immortality. Her research laid the groundwork for telomerase-targeting cancer therapies.
