About Elizabeth H Blackburn
Elizabeth (Liz) Helen Blackburn FRS (born November 26, 1948 in Hobart, Tasmania) is an Australian-born U.S. biologist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), who studies the telomere, a structure at the end of chromosomes which protects the chromosome. Blackburn also co-discovered telomerase, the enzyme that replenishes the telomere. She also worked in medical ethics, and was controversially fired from the President's Council on Bioethics.
