SUMMARY:Celebrating UCSC Science Breakthroughs with Nobel Laureate Dr. Carol Greider
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on June 24\, 2026\, at 5:30 pm at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego\, for a special reception with UC Santa Cruz Nobel Laureate Carol Greider and members of the UCSC Department of Molecular\, Cell and Developmental Biology faculty. \nCarol won the Nobel Prize in 2009 for discovering how the tips of our chromosomes — called telomeres — protect the DNA inside our cells. Think of telomeres like the plastic caps on shoelaces that keep them from fraying. She also discovered telomerase\, the enzyme that rebuilds these caps as our cells divide. Her work has transformed how scientists understand aging\, cancer\, and what keeps our cells healthy over a lifetime. \nThis event is open to all UC Santa Cruz Alumni\, San Diego area supporters\, and interested industry representatives in town for the BIO International Convention. \nRSVP Today! Space is limited!
