Carolyn Bertozzi

Biography

Carolyn Bertozzi developed bioorthogonal chemistry — chemical reactions that can occur inside living organisms without interfering with normal biological processes. Her work, alongside advances in click chemistry, earned her the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, shared with Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless. Her innovations have enabled scientists to study cells and develop targeted pharmaceuticals in ways previously impossible. She is a professor at Stanford University and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.

卡罗琳·贝尔托齐开发了生物正交化学——一种可以在活体内进行而不干扰正常生物过程的化学反应。她的工作与点击化学的进展一起为她赢得了2022年诺贝尔化学奖，与莫滕·梅尔达尔和K·巴里·夏普利斯共享。她的创新使科学家能够以前所未有的方式研究细胞和开发靶向药物。她是斯坦福大学教授和霍华德·休斯医学研究所研究员。
