2022 - Nobel Prize in Chemistry for development of Bioorthogonal Chemistry and Click Chemistry

* Bertozzi coined the term bioorthogonal chemistry for chemical reactions compatible with living systems * Allows researchers to chemically modify molecules within living systems * Won Nobel Prize in chemistry 2022 * Also worked on Click Chemistry, describing how synthetic chemistry could emulate the way nature constructs complex molecules, using efficient reactions to join together simple, non-toxic building blocks * While at Berkeley, discovered viruses can bind to sugars in the body.
