SUMMARY:Science in the Neighborhood: The End Game: Discovering how telomeres cause disease
DESCRIPTION:Science In the Neighborhood\nA public lecture series hosted quarterly by the UC Santa Cruz Science Division \nThe End Game: Discovering how telomeres cause disease\nPresentation by Carol Greider\, Professor\, UC Santa Cruz\nQ&A with Susan Carpenter\, Professor\, UC Santa Cruz \nTelomeres\, the ends of chromosomes\, play a pivotal role in human disease. Short telomeres cause age-related degenerative disease\, while long telomeres predispose people to cancer. That’s why understanding how telomere length is regulated is so critical. Dr. Greider’s research is uncovering the mechanism of telomere length regulation so that we can devise approaches for disease treatment. By using new DNA-sequencing technology in a novel way\, her team made a surprising discovery: Each chromosome end has a unique telomere-length distribution that is different from other chromosome ends. Dr. Greider will explain how this finding will help us better understand the role of telomeres in disease. \nThe event is in-person only. Register here. \nDecember 11\, 2025 | 6:00–7:30 p.m.\nCoastal Biology Building. Rm. 110\nUC Santa Cruz Coastal Campus\n130 McAllister Way\nSanta Cruz\, CA 95060 \nThe screenshot below shows where to find the entrance of the Coastal Biology Building.
