Interview with Carol Greider on winning the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
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.

Abstract
Telomeres are conserved structures that protect chromosome ends in eukaryotes. Telomeres shorten with cell division, and this shortening is counterbalanced by telomerase, which adds telomere repeats onto chromosome ends. The disruption of telomere length maintenance is associated with both cancer and age-related disease. Inappropriate elongation of telomeres ca...

Nobel Laureate Professor Carol W. Greider
The 2009 American Nobel Laureates were honored at a luncheon at the American Ambassador's Residence in Stockholm on December 9. All eight were asked to answer the following question: "What advice would you give to your 20-year-old self on making a real difference in the world, knowing what you know today?" In this clip the 2009 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Professor Carol W. Greider, offers her thoughts on the question. Professor Greider works at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.

Carol W. Greider:
Carol W. Greider is the Daniel Nathans Professor & Director of Molecular Biology & Genetics at Johns Hopkins University. Her research on telomerase (an enzyme she helped discover) and telomere function won her a 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Prior to joining the Johns Hopkins faculty, she obtained a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1997, and was a faculty member at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a recipient of the 1998 Gairdner Foundation International Award.

TRANSCRIPT:
Question: Have you encountered any gender-specific obstacles as a scientist?
Carol Greider: I think that that's a very complicated kind of question, because although I really feel like I never had a particular obstacle that I had to overcome as a female scientist—I never felt that I was singled out or had anything done against me—I do see that when one looks at where women are in science that there is a very large discrepancy, and that there does seem to be an inability for women to get to higher echelons in the scientific hierarchy or in academia. So I think that although I didn't feel like I had anything done personally to me, I think that there may be more subtle social interactions at play in the scientific world that does have a little bit of a negative effect on women advancing in their careers.
Question: What can be done to remove these obstacles?
Carol Greider: I think that as more women get into higher levels of science, and as it's very clear to younger women coming into the field that yes, it is possible to get to the higher ranks, that will help. And also I think that the way that women run meetings, and when the power structure is such that you have a larger representation of women at higher levels, that the conversation may change somewhat. And so that could also be helpful moving forward.
Question: What is your advice to female scientists starting out today?
Carol Greider: Just follow what you're excited about. I would say the same thing to female scientists as to male scientists, to all young people, really: the fun thing is to be able to do something that excites you. A lot of times what we do is a lot of hard work, but hard work is actually okay if you really are engaged in it. And so that really, I think, is the main thing, is find something that you're passionate about and be able to follow that.
Question: How did it feel to win the Nobel Prize?
Carol Greider: That was very exciting. It was a tremendous honor to get a phone call from Stockholm and to share it with Elizabeth Blackburn, who I've worked with for many years, as well as Jack Szostak. So I was very excited, and I was very happy that I got to share the day with my children. I was able to wake them up at five o'clock in the morning after I got this phone call and to have them there with me to share and to celebrate.
Question: What role did you and your co-winners each play in the prizewinning research?
Carol Greider: Yeah, Liz Blackburn and Jack Szostak had a collaboration in the early 1980s where they were interested in trying to understand the function of telomeres. And they had a collaboration which was a cross-country collaboration with one in Berkeley and the other one in Boston. And they would call each other up on the phone and explain experiments and send materials back and forth. And that collaboration resulted in this idea that there may be some way that the cells have of maintaining their chromosome ends. It was known that chromosome ends would shorten every time a cell divided, and in doing a collaboration to try and understand the functional components that make up the telomeres they proposed that there may be an enzyme that lengthens telomeres. And so then when I went to graduate school at U.C. Berkeley and I met Liz Blackburn, that was the project—after I had worked on a smaller project in her lab—that was the project that I thought was the most exciting to follow up on and find out, is there really going to be this hypothesized enzyme which can lengthen telomeres? So that's when I started to work with Liz Blackburn, and it was together in her laboratory that we discovered the enzyme telomerase.

Abstract
Telomeres are conserved structures that protect chromosome ends in eukaryotes. Telomeres shorten with cell division, and this shortening is counterbalanced by telomerase, which adds telomere repeats onto chromosome ends. The disruption of telomere length maintenance is associated with both cancer and age-related disease. Inappropriate elongation of telomeres can allow the continued growth of cancer cells. On the other hand, insufficient telomere maintenance causes a spectrum of disease in humans including bone marrow failure, pulmonary fibrosis and immune senescence, collectively known as telomere syndromes. The mechanism that establishes and maintains telomere length equilibrium is not fully understood. This equilibrium involves the regulated recruitment of telomerase and the regulated dissociation of telomerase from the telomere end at the appropriate time in the cell cycle. We use yeast and mouse models to dissect the conserved underlying mechanism that establishes the telomere length equilibrium. A sophisticated understanding of these mechanisms will allow new approaches to treat telomere-mediated disease.
About the Speaker
Carol Greider received a B.A. from UC Santa Barbara in 1983 and a Ph.D. in 1987 from UC Berkeley. In 1984, together with Elizabeth Blackburn, she discovered telomerase, an enzyme that maintains chromosome ends. In 1988, Greider was appointed as a Fellow at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and in 1994 was promoted to investigator. In 1997, she moved to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 2004, she was appointed as the Daniel Nathans Professor and director of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Johns Hopkins University. Greider’s lab currently studies telomeres and telomerase in cancer and age-related degenerative disease. Greider shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Blackburn and Jack Szostak in 2009.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences recognized Greider for her 1984 discovery of telomerase, 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.
The discovery important and of itself for increasing our understanding of how cells work also has turned out to have far-reaching implications for the investigation of cancer and certain aging-related diseases.
She shares the Nobel with Eizabeth Blackburn, a professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco, and Jack Szostack, Ph.D., of Harvard Medical School.
Here are excerpts from Greiders comments at an Oct. 5 news conference following the announcement.
