Stanford chemistry professor Carolyn Bertozzi got a pre-dawn wake-up call Wednesday that has changed her life forever.
It was 1:43 a.m. when she was awakened by a long distance phone call from Sweden. On the other end was a Nobel Prize committee representative who informed her she and two others had been awarded the prestigious honor in chemistry for 2022.
"He's 91 and, of course, he was just overjoyed," she said."And then he called my sisters for me, and we've been texting. One of my sisters and my dad watched it live." "This is how it's going to be all day," she told the Stanford news service."This is insane. Maybe I should cancel meetings." Sharpless, 81, who previously won a Nobel Prize in 2001 and is now the fifth person to receive the award twice, first proposed the idea for connecting molecules using chemical"buckles" around the turn of the millennium, said Aqvist.
"Doing chemistry inside human patients to make sure that drugs go to the right place and stay away from the wrong place," Bertozzi explained.
