Biographical / Historical
Carolyn Bertozzi is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Chemistry and Professor of
Chemical & Systems Biology and Radiology (by courtesy) at Stanford University, and an
Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She completed her undergraduate degree
in Chemistry from Harvard University in 1988 and her Ph.D. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley in
1993. After completing postdoctoral work at UCSF in the field of cellular immunology, she
joined the UC Berkeley faculty in 1996. In June 2015, she joined the faculty at Stanford
University coincident with the launch of Stanford's ChEM-H institute.
Prof. Bertozzi's research interests span the disciplines of chemistry and biology with an
emphasis on studies of cell surface glycosylation pertinent to disease states. Her lab
focuses on profiling changes in cell surface glycosylation associated with cancer,
inflammation and bacterial infection, and exploiting this information for development of
diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, most recently in the area of immuno-oncology. She has
been recognized with many honors and awards for her research accomplishments. She is an
elected member of the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, and American
Academy of Arts and Sciences. She has been awarded the Lemelson-MIT Prize, the Heinrich
Wieland Prize, and a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, among many others.
Prof. Bertozzi has been recognized with many honors and awards for both her research and
teaching accomplishments. She is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. Some
awards of note include the Lemelson-MIT award for inventors, Whistler Award, Ernst Schering
Prize, MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, the ACS Award in Pure Chemistry, Tetrahedron Young
Investigator Award, and Irving Sigal Young Investigator Award of the Protein Society. Her
efforts in undergraduate education have earned her the UC Berkeley Distinguished Teaching
Award and the Donald Sterling Noyce Prize for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching.
