Carolyn Bertozzi wins Nobel in chemistry
Stanford chemist Carolyn Bertozzi was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry
for her development of bioorthogonal reactions
which allow scientists to explore cells and track biological processes without disrupting the normal chemistry of the cell.
Carolyn Bertozzi received an early birthday gift this year.
Bertozzi, the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences and a professor of chemistry
with courtesy appointments in Chemical & Systems Biology and Radiology, has won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
