At the age of 23 Carol Greider discovered the enzyme telomerase – The Nobel Prize

The Nobel Prize posted on LinkedIn:

“At the age of 23, before she’d even earned her PhD, Carol Greider made the discovery that would earn her the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Along with her supervisor and co-laureate Elizabeth Blackburn, she discovered the enzyme telomerase. At each end of a chromosome lies a protective “cap” called a telomere – telomerase is the enzyme that creates it.

Read more about her work.”
