Carolyn Bertozzi: Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 for Bioorthogonal Reactions

Summary

This article profiles Carolyn Bertozzi, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It covers her groundbreaking discovery of bioorthogonal reactions — chemical reactions that can occur inside living cells without interfering with natural biological processes. Despite facing ridicule and exclusion as a student in the 1980s, Bertozzi persevered and later built an inclusive culture in her own lab. Her work is now used globally to explore cells, track biological processes, and improve targeted cancer medicines.
