Dr. Bertozzi’s pioneering innovation was built upon a path paved by Dr. Sharpless. Joining Dr. Sharpless in this endeavor was Dr. Meldal. Heroes think alike! Sharpless and Meldal pioneered “click chemistry,” a method of joining molecules in a highly efficient manner with a minimal of side products. Dr. Bertozzi extended this technology to biological systems, particularly investigation of the role that certain sugars play.</p> Thu, 06 Oct 2022 19:26:17 +0000 Nancy Liu-Sullivan, PhD 9257 at /oss
