About this Event
Join us online or in person as Professor Elizabeth Blackburn describes her research journey: from curiosity-driven research uncovering of how cells protect their chromosomal ends (telomeres), to how loss of telomere protection contributes to human aging and aging-related diseases. Influences on human telomere maintenance are only partially genetic; they prominently include psychological and life and societal circumstances - starting from earliest life and reverberating through the life course. The broader implications of such scientific research will be discussed.
