'''Carolyn Ruth Bertozzi''' (born October 10, 1966) is an American [[chemist]] and [[Nobel Laureate in Chemistry|Nobel laureate]], known for her wide-ranging work spanning both chemistry and biology. She coined the term "[[bioorthogonal chemistry]]"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hhmi.org/scientists/carolyn-r-bertozzi|title=Carolyn R. Bertozzi|website=HHMI.org|language=en|access-date=February 5, 2020}}</ref> for chemical reactions compatible with living systems.

Bertozzi studies the [[glycobiology]] of underlying diseases such as [[cancer]], inflammatory disorders such as [[arthritis]], and [[infectious diseases]] such as [[tuberculosis]]. In particular, Bertozzi has advanced the understanding of cell surface [[oligosaccharides]] involved in cell recognition and inter-cellular communication. Bertozzi has applied the techniques of [[bioorthogonal chemistry]] to study [[glycocalyx]], the sugars that surround the cell membrane. Her discoveries have advanced the field of biotherapeutics.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Xiao|first1=Han|last2=Woods|first2=Elliot C.|last3=Vukojicic|first3=Petar|last4=Bertozzi|first4=Carolyn R. |date=August 22, 2016|title=Precision glycocalyx editing as a strategy for cancer immunotherapy|journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences|language=en|volume=113|issue=37|pages=10304–10309|doi=10.1073/pnas.1608069113 |pmid=27551071|pmc=5027407|bibcode=2016PNAS..11310304X |issn=0027-8424|doi-access=free}}</ref> Her lab has also developed tools for research.

Bertozzi and her two sisters grew up around science. Because their father was a physics professor, when asked what she and her sisters wanted to be when they grew up, the answer was unanimous: a nuclear physicist. The three girls would attend MIT camps, as their father dreamt that they would attend MIT due to a "mixture of pride and the promise of free tuition." To William's dismay, Carolyn attended Harvard instead because the school offered strengths outside of just science.<ref
Bertozzi briefly considered a career in music. In high school, she won several awards for music compositions and musical accomplishments. Her talent on the keyboard earned her offers as a music major from several university rock bands, but she felt that she was "always centered on the sciences".<ref name=Davis/> Bertozzi is a [[lesbian]] and has been out since the late 1980s.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Navals|first=Pauline|date=April 5, 2022|title=ONE ON ONE WITH CAROLYN BERTOZZI|journal=Chemical & Engineering News|language=en|url=https://cen.acs.org/biological-chemistry/One-on-one-with-Carolyn-Bertozzi/100/i12
