The rise of click and bioorthogonal chemistry

The Chemistry Nobel went to three scientists, considered pioneers in the field of lick and bioorthogonal chemistry.

Stanford chemist Carolyn Bertozzi or her development of bioorthogonal reactions, which allow scientists to explore cells and track biological processes without disrupting the normal chemistry of the cell.

Morten Meldal, professor at University of Copenhagen, for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.

K. Barry Sharpless, professor at Scripps Research Institute (not to be confused with the U. of California San Diego, Scripps Institute). This is Professor Sharpless' second Nobel in Chemistry. He developed the work that led to his Nobels, while at Stanford.
