Extractions: If Thomas R. Cech, was surprised that he won this year's Nobel Prize for Chemistry, his colleagues and mentors were not. There was reason to suspect he was headed for scientific glory while he was still a schoolboy, winning state science fairs in Iowa year after year. Cech, a lanky 41-year-old Colorado resident, reminisced about those early years while sipping champagne with colleagues at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge yesterday. He had just spoken on the phone with a reporter from a Des Moines newspaper, who remembered that Cech won a science fair in eastern Iowa while still in junior high. When one of his colleagues asked the topic of his winning entry, Cech joked, "I don't remember. I was in so many science fairs." Cech, born in Chicago, took that all-consuming passion for science to Grinnell College in Iowa, where he received a BA in chemistry, and then to the University of California at Berkeley, where he earned a doctorate. He joined the faculty at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1978 after doing a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT. Many of the scientists who gathered around Cech yesterday remembered him fondly from his days at MIT.
Extractions: Front Page Previous Story Next Story Cech To Discuss 'Life at the End of the Chromosome' By Doug Dollemore On the Front Page... Scientists are hot on the trail of an enzyme that has the potential to increase the longevity of normal cells and may provide new tools to attack malignant ones, says Nobel laureate Dr. Thomas R. Cech. The enzyme, called telomerase, synthesizes or extends chromosome endings in germ cells, and may act like a molecular "timer" to regulate how long chromosomes in non-germ cells can continue to function. Continued... Cech will discuss what is known about telomerase and its possible impact on lifespan and health when he delivers the NIH Director's Lecture on Wednesday, Sept. 20 at 3 p.m. in Masur Auditorium, Bldg. 10. His lecture, "Life at the End of the Chromosome: Telomeres and Telomerase," will include a glimpse at emerging findings about this unusual enzyme. Dr. Thomas R. Cech

"Americans have been awarded more than one-half of all Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry and medicine since 1945. This impressive success is no accident, but the result of a firm and consistent commitment by the federal government to basic science research at our universities. Our nation's policymakers and public have been prudent investors because their support has paid off in tremendous ways. "America's investment in research over the last fifty years has been a vital source of our economic and political strength around the world, as well as the quality of life Americans enjoy at home. The polio vaccine, computers, jet propulsion and disease resistant grains and vegetables are some of the thousands of advances pioneered at our universities that have had dramatic benefits for our health, economy, security and quality of life. "New and equally breathtaking advances may be just around the corner. Genetic research, for example, gives promise of better treatments for Alzheimer's, cancer and other diseases. Lighter and stronger composite materials may be developed with important applications in transportation, medicine and the military. Continuing support for university-based research will not only pave the way for these important breakthroughs, but will also train the next generation of pioneers and Nobelists.

Extractions: (lecture given on January 20, 2000) Do you know what goes on at the ends of your chromosomes? Do you know how that activity may effect aging? You know about DNA, but do you know about the ends of your chromosomes, or telomeres? The telomeres are copied by telomerase, a molecular machine distinct from other replication machines in the chromosome. Find out how telomerase is implicated in both cellular aging and cancer. More detailed description of lecture: Born in Chicago, Illinois on December 8, 1947, Tom Cech was raised and educated in Iowa (B. A. in Chemistry from Grinnell College). He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley and then engaged in postdoctoral research in the Department of Biology at M. I. T. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1978 he joined the faculty of the University of Colorado, Boulder. In 1982 Tom Cech and his research group announced that an RNA molecule from Tetrahymena , a single-celled pond organism, cut and rejoined chemical bonds in the complete absence of proteins. Thus RNA was not restricted to being a passive carrier of genetic information, but could have an active role in cellular metabolism. This discovery of self-splicing RNA provided the first exception to the long-held belief that biological reactions are always catalyzed by proteins. In addition, it has been heralded as providing a new, plausible scenario for the origin of life; because RNA can be both an information-carrying molecule and a catalyst, perhaps the first self-reproducing system consisted of RNA alone. Only years later was it recognized that RNA catalysts, or "ribozymes," might provide a new class of highly specific pharmaceutical agents, able to cleave and thereby inactivate viral RNAs or other RNAs involved in disease.
