Short Description
CNIO director revealing telomere biology in aging & cancer.
Description

Dr. Maria Blasco leads the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) and discovered that telomerase‑deficient mice exhibit premature aging, proving telomere attrition as a causal driver. Her group demonstrated that telomerase gene therapy extends mouse lifespan by 24 % with no increased cancer risk, opening translational avenues. Blasco advocates women leadership in STEM and chairs the European Telomere Society bringing together 150+ labs.
