The Bertozzi lab asks why cells are covered in sugars. Along the way, scientist Carolyn R. Bertozzi invented a new field of chemistry that transforms healthcare and cancer treatment.
Compared to the pristine flask in a sterile lab environment, cells in the body are messy balls of chemical soup. This means that chemical reactions invented in a lab often fail in the body.
Bertozzi likens this to two soulmates meeting at a party. “It's like there's a crowded room of people buzzing around, and two people might find each other from across the room. All of a sudden, everyone disappears and they, you know, react with each other.” , who hope to increase dose strength and reduce side effects for cancer patients using bioorthogonal chemistry.
