Carolyn R. Bertozzi Biography

Carolyn R. Bertozzi is one of the most popular and richest Chemist who was born on October 10, 1966 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

Bertozzi completed her Ph.D. in Chemistry at UC Berkeley in 1993 with Professor Mark Bednarski, working on the chemical synthesis of oligosaccharide analogs. While working under Professor Bednarski, she discovered that viruses can bind to sugars in the body. The discovery led her to her current field of research glycobiology. After completing a Ph.D., Bertozzi was a postdoctoral fellow at UCSF with Professor Steven Rosen, where she studied the activity of endothelial oligosaccharides in promoting cell adhesion at inflammation sites. While working with Professor Rosen, Bertozzi was able to modify the protein and sugar molecules in the walls of living cells so that the cells accept foreign materials such as implants.

Bertozzi joined the UC Berkeley faculty in 1996. She has been an investigator with HHMI since 2000. In 1999, while working with HHMI and at UC Berkeley, she founded the field of bioorthogonal chemistry and coined the term in 2003. This new field and technique allows researchers to chemically modify molecules in living organisms and not interrupt the processes of the cell. In 2015, Bertozzi moved to Stanford University to join the ChEM-H Institute.
