Carol Greider is a Distinguished Professor of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology at University California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). She received a B.A. from UC Santa Barbara and a PhD from UC Berkeley. In 1984, working with Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, she discovered telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomeres. Carol was an independent fellow before joining the faculty at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York between 1988 and 1997, then she moved to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Carol shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn and Dr. Jack Szostak for their work on telomeres and telomerase. In 2020, Carol moved to UCSC where her group studies telomere length regulation.
