Carolyn bertozzi

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. This story was updated on Wednesday, Oct. 6, at 1:23 p.m. PDT. 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 – just a few days before her 56th birthday next Monday. She shares the $10 million Swedish kronor (about $1 million USD) prize equally with Morten Meldal, professor at University of Copenhagen; and K. Barry Sharpless, PhD ’68, professor at Scripps Research “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.” The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Bertozzi’s lab first developed the methods in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Since then, her lab and others have used them to answer fundamental questions about the role of sugars in biology, to solve practical problems, such as developing better tests for infectious diseases, and to create a new biological pharmaceutical that can better target tumors, which is now being tested in clinical trials. “I could not be more delighted that Carolyn Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “In pioneering the field of bioorthogonal chemistry, Carolyn invented a new way of studying biomolecular processes, one that has helped scientists around the world gain deeper understanding of ...

The College of Chemistry is consistently ranked as one of the best places on earth to learn, teach, and create new tools in the chemical sciences. This is no accident. It’s the direct result of exceptional scholarship as well as thousands and thousands of donations from our loyal alumni and friends. Carolyn Bertozzi as a young professor at UC Berkeley. (Photo: courtesy of College of Chemistry) Carolyn Bertozzi, a professor at Stanford University who today shared the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, spent her formative and most creative years at UC Berkeley. After graduating from Harvard University in 1988, she earned her Ph.D. in chemistry from Berkeley in 1993 and, following postdoctoral and faculty positions elsewhere, returned to join the chemistry faculty and Berkeley Lab in 1996. For 19 years, until 2015 — the year she left to help lead Stanford’s Sarafan ChEM-H institute — she developed at Berkeley the chemical biology techniques for which she received the Nobel Prize. She calls these techniques bioorthogonal chemistry, building off the “click chemistry” developed by her Nobel Prize co-winners, K. Barry Sharpless of Scripps Research in La Jolla, California, and Morten Meldal of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. “ Carolyn Bertozzi, is now the Anne T. and Robert M.

Postdoc Pauline Navals talks with this glycoscience expert about what has changed about inclusion in chemistry and what has stayed the same By Pauline Navals Stanford University biochemist Carolyn Bertozzi is a highly admired scientist, entrepreneur, and advocate for diversity, particularly for LGBTQ+ people. She’s been out since the late 1980s, when being a lesbian could have jeopardized her career. This year, she was awarded the prestigious Wolf Prize in Chemistry for founding the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Pauline Navals spoke with Bertozzi about her translational research in glycoscience, her work on bridging the gap between chemistry and biology, and her journey as a proud, out gay woman in academia. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Bioorthogonal chemistry, for which professor of chemistry The method can be used to bring many kinds of molecules together, affixing fluorescent tags to sugar molecules to track their location on or inside a cell, to snap together components of disparate proteins to jolt the immune system into action inside a tumor, or to assemble a neurological-cancer-fighting drug after its individual components have slithered across the blood-brain barrier. A sister method, click chemistry, is a no-fuss way specially engineered molecular building blocks snap together in a test tube to bring about specific chemical reactions. (Bertozzi shares her prize with the co-inventors of click chemistry.) But bioorthogonal chemistry works in living cells without disrupting their normal function. And Bertozzi, the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences, and the inventor of bioorthogonal chemistry, is an expert in it. Bertozzi, who has courtesy appointments in Medical move Bertozzi has always wanted to make a difference. An Stanford Magazine details how she moved her laboratory from UC Berkeley in 2015 to take advantage of Stanford’s on-campus hospital and proximity to Silicon Valley. The change, she hoped, would help her move her chemistry research from the laboratory to the real world. Almost immediately, she was Since her arrival at Stanford, Bertozzi and her lab have contributed to a number of research projects exploring cancer immunotherapies, the virus tha...
