Carolyn Bertozzi

Carolyn Bertozzi received her B.A., summa cum laude, in chemistry from Harvard University, where she worked with Professor Joe Grabowski on the design and construction of a photoacoustic calorimeter.{{cite journal |pages=214–26 |doi=10.1016/0003-2697(92)90003-P |title=Fluorescence probes in biochemistry: An examination of the non-fluorescent behavior of dansylamide by photoacoustic calorimetry |year=1992 |last1=Grabowski |first1=Joseph J. |journal=Analytical Biochemistry |volume=207 |issue=2 |pmid=1481973 |last2=Bertozzi |first2=Carolyn R. |last3=Jacobsen |first3=John R. |last4=Jain |first4=Ahamindra |last5=Marzluff |first5=Elaine M. |last6=Suh |first6=Annie Y.}} Grabowski was impressed with her work and required Bertozzi to write a thesis on this project, which was submitted and Bertozzi won the Thomas T. Hoopes Undergraduate Thesis Prize. While an undergraduate, she played in several bands, notably Bored of Education with future Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello.{{cite web |title=Meet Carolyn Bertozzi |url=http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/chemhealth/chemist_bertozzi.htm |publisher=NIGMS |accessdate=February 8, 2013 |archive-date=October 5, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171005223521/https://publications.nigms.nih.gov/chemhealth/chemist_bertozzi.htm |url-status=dead}}{{Cite web |last=Houlton |first=Sarah |date=January 12, 2018 |title=Carolyn Bertozzi |url=https://www.chemistryworld.com/features/carolyn-bertozzi/3008380.article |access-date=October 7, 2020 |website=Chemistry World |publisher=Royal Society of Chemistry}} After graduating from Harvard in 1988, she worked at Bell Labs with Chris Chidsey.{{Cite web|url=https://inchemistry.acs.org/content/inchemistry/en/acs-and-you/carolyn-bertozzi.html |title=Carolyn Bertozzi' s Winding Road to an Extraordinary Career |work=inChemistry |access-date=February 17, 2020 |first=Eric |last=Stewart |date=March 27, 2017 |publisher=American Chemical Society}}

Bertozzi completed her Ph.D. in chemistry at University of California, Berkeley in 1993 with Mark Bednarski, working on the chemical synthesis of oligosaccharide analogs.{{cite thesis |title=Synthesis and biological activity of carbon-linked glycosides |last=Bertozzi |first=Carolyn Ruth|institution=University of California, Berkeley |degree=Ph.D. |id={{ProQuest|304068526}} |oclc=30660316}}{{cite journal |title=Bertozzi: Infectious In Her Enthusiasm |journal=Chemical & Engineering News |date=January 31, 2000 |volume=78 |issue=5 |pages=26–35}} While at Berkeley, she discovered that viruses can bind to sugars in the body.{{Cite web|url=https://lemelson.mit.edu/winners/carolyn-bertozzi|title=Carolyn Bertozzi {{!}} Lemelson–MIT Program|website=lemelson.mit.edu|access-date=February 5, 2020|archive-date=August 10, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200810095535/https://lemelson.mit.edu/winners/carolyn-bertozzi|url-status=dead}} The discovery led to her field of research, glycobiology. During Bertozzi's third year of graduate school, Bednarski was diagnosed with colon cancer, which resulted in him taking a leave of absence and changing his career path by enrolling in medical school. This left Bertozzi and the rest of the lab to complete their Ph.D. work with no direct supervision.{{Cite magazine |last=Azvolunsky |first=Anna |date=May 31, 2016 |title=Carolyn Bertozzi: Glycan Chemist |url=https://www.the-scientist.com/profile/carolyn-bertozzi-glycan-chemist-33453 |access-date=October 7, 2020 |magazine=The Scientist}}{{cite news |last1=Baker |first1=Mitzi |title=Bednarski, pioneer of new cancer therapies, dies at 47 |url=https://news.stanford.edu/news/2006/march22/med-obit-032206.html |access-date=15 October 2022 |work=Stanford University |date=22 March 2006 |language=en}}

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.{{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}} Her lab has also developed tools for research.

Bertozzi grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, the daughter of the late Norma Gloria (Berringer) and William Bertozzi.{{cite web | url=https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/bostonglobe/name/norma-bertozzi-obituary?id=30733422 | title=NORMA GLORIA BERTOZZI Obituary (2021) Boston Globe | website=Legacy.com }} Her father was of Italian descent.{{Cite web|url=https://lavocedinewyork.com/en/news/2022/10/05/italian-american-scientist-carolyn-bertozzi-wins-the-nobel-prize-in-chemistry|title=Italian American Scientist Carolyn Bertozzi Wins the Nobel Prize in Chemistry|date=October 5, 2022 }}{{cite web|title=Il Nobel per la chimica 2022 a Bertozzi, Meldal e Sharpless |url=https://www.rainews.it/tgr/piemonte/articoli/2022/10/attesa-per-lassegnazione-del-nobel-per-la-chimica-2022-7e183214-ce64-4cf4-b5b4-a1fac3bccbd8.html}} Her maternal grandparents were from Nova Scotia, Canada.{{cite web | url=https://digital.sciencehistory.org/works/3xomins | title=Oral history interview with Carolyn R.

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.

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". Bertozzi is a lesbian and has been out since the late 1980s.{{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}}
