In 1984, Blackburn co-discovered telomerase, the enzyme that replenishes the telomere, with Carol W. Greider. For this work, she was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, sharing it with Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak, becoming the first Australian woman Nobel laureate.

A direct working partnership, not merely a shared prize: Blackburn's own lead names Greider as her co-discoverer of telomerase in 1984, ahead of and distinct from their shared 2009 Nobel Prize.

Shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine; Blackburn's own lead credits only Greider as her direct co-discoverer of telomerase (edge 10 above) and names Szostak solely as a co-laureate, so this edge is recorded as shared-prize-only, distinct from the Blackburn-Greider working partnership.
