Early Life and Education
Blackburn was introduced to science through her love of math at Ramsay High School in Birmingham, Alabama and later went on to study it further at the University of Alabama, graduating as well as serving as a Blackburn Fellow participating in networking events and community outreach initiatives.
Blackburn and Greider’s research with Tetrahymena led her to uncovering the molecular structure of telomeres – protective caps on chromosomes that protect chromosomes against damage when cells divide – giving researchers new insight into cell growth and development, degenerative disease such as cancer and potential treatment methods for them. Their research is now used towards treating disease as well as helping prevent shortening, which contributes to ageing and disease. Their groundbreaking discoveries revolutionized genetics.
