 | Women@Google: Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn Molecular biologist Elizabeth Blackburn--one of Time magazine's 100 "Most Influential People in the World" in 2007--made headlines in 2004 when she was dismissed from the President's Council on Bioethics after objecting to the council's call for a moratorium on stem cell research and protesting the suppression of relevant scientific evidence in its final report. But it is Blackburn's groundbreaking work on telomeric DNA, which launched the field of telomere research, that will have the more profound and long-lasting effect on science and society. In June, we hosted Catherine Brady who told the story of Elizabeth Blackburn's life and work and the emergence of a new field of scientific research on the specialized ends of chromosomes and the telomerase enzyme that extends them. On Monday, August 18th we welcome Elizabeth Blackburn herself to our Google San Francisco office. This event took place on August 18, 2008, as a part of the Women@Google series. |
 | EuroNews - Futuris - Rare diseases reaserch boost A rare disease is defined as affecting less than one in 2,000 people. Many conditions are known as "orphan" diseases because they are too rare to be a priority for health authorities or pharmaceutical companies. But by joining forces across Europe, those at the frontline are making a difference. |

 | Cancer Biology and Cancer Medicine April 9, 2008 presentation by Nobel laureate Harold Varmus for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series. Nobel laureate Harold Varmus discusses the intersection of cancer biology and cancer medicine. Varmus, president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, earned his Nobel Prize for discovering retroviral oncogenes that can cause cancer. That work changed the way people thought about cancer: Rather than being a disease caused by environmental exposure, it could result from mutations in specific genes. Now, much cancer research and the search for therapeutics focus on genetic changes in cancer.
