Short Description
UTSW cell biologist targeting telomerase in cancer & aging.
Description

Jerry Shay co‑developed the widely used telomere repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) enabling routine telomerase measurement. He showed telomerase activation extends lifespan of normal human cells without oncogenic transformation, informing anti‑aging gene‑therapy design. Shay co‑founded Telos Biologics to explore transient telomerase mRNA therapies.
