Biography

Gabriele Saretzki (PhD) is a cellular biology working in the areas of telomeres, telomerase, cellular senescence, ageing, mitochondria and oxidative stress. She was instrumental in establishing telomeres as a biomarker of oxidative stress and senescence/ageing. She has published around 77 papers to date and has focussed her research recently on the non-canonical functions of the telomerase protein TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) in mitochondria and the brain during ageing and in neurodegenerative diseases.
