The biochemical machinery of human cells is designed to see breaks in the DNA ribbon as “defects” and to glue the loose ends together again. Publications | CV. Site Map | Past Members. Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics for her research on telomeres, the protective elements located at the tips of chromosomes, which play a crucial role in ageing and cancer. Comments | de Lange, Titia Leon Hess Professor Laboratory of Cell Biology and Genetics E-mail: Titia.de.Lange@rockefeller.edu Laboratory of Cell Biology and Genetics. Contact | Telomeres, the nucleoprotein complexes at the natural ends of chromosomes, protect chromosome ends and ensure their complete replication. The loss of telomere protection is the cause of the premature aging symptoms associated with Dyskeratosis congenita and … All rights reserved.

The lab identified a six-subunit protein complex, which they named shelterin, that specifically binds to telomeres. Titia de Lange has been awarded the 2012 Dr H.P. Current Members.

In human tumors and immortalized cells, telomeres are often maintained at a constant length setting [3,4], indicating that telomerase-mediated telomere elongation is tightly regulated.
