On the Record: CNBC Focuses on Pew’s Investment in Biomedical Innovation In his State of the Union address this year, President Barack Obama called for increased investment to spur American innovation because “none of us can predict with certainty what the next big industry will be, or where the new jobs will come from.” In the wake of the speech, the host of CNBC’s Wall Street Journal Report, Maria Bartiromo, interviewed Rebecca Rimel, The Pew Charitable Trust’s President and CEO, and Pew Biomedical Scholars Dr. Carol Greider and Dr. Matthew Evans on the need for increased investment in America’s young scientists.

Carol Greider and the Nobel Prize "Carol W. Greider, Ph.D., a 1990 Pew scholar in the biomedical sciences and now professor of molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, received the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, sharing the award with Jack W. Szostak of Massachusetts General Hospital and Elizabeth H. Blackburn of the University of California at San Francisco. The three scientists solved the biology question of how chromosomes, which contain DNA molecules, can be copied in a complete way during cell division and how they are protected against degradation. They showed, as the Nobel Assembly put it, that “the solution is to be found in the ends of the chromosomes—the telomeres—and in an enzyme that forms them—telomerase.” Source: Trust Magazine |
