Carol W. Greider, an accomplished American molecular biologist and Nobel laureate, is renowned for her pioneering research on telomeres and telomerase. Her groundbreaking discovery of the enzyme telomerase during her graduate studies in 1984 has solidified her position as a leading expert in unraveling the structure and function of telomeres. Greider’s contributions have greatly enhanced our understanding of how telomeres safeguard chromosomes from degradation, culminating in her receipt of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2009.
