Nobel prizes This years Nobel prizes saw molecular biologist Dr Elizabeth Blackburn become Australia's first Nobel laureate. Blackburn, and her colleagues Carol Greider and Jack Szostak, were honoured for their work with telomeres and cell divison. The research has not only revolutionised our understanding of ageing, but holds great promise for cancer treatment. Nicky Phillips and Sarah Castor-Perry give a full report of the prizes.
