BioNews Today

It's Women's History Month! So in this month's highlight, we're honoring Dr. Carolyn Ruth Bertozzi. Dr Bertozzi is an American chemist and Nobel laureate. She coined the term "bioorthogonal chemistry" and has made ground breaking discoveries about chemical reactions that are compatible with living systems. In other words, we can now control chemistry inside living cells!
