Stanford Medcast Episode 61: Hot Topics Mini-Series - A Conversation with Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi

In this episode, we hold a conversation with Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi, a Nobel Prize laureate in Bioorthogonal Chemistry, and Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University. We will delve into Professor Bertozzi’s journey to become a chemistry research scientist and all of the achievements she has made along the way. We will also talk about her discovery of bioorthogonal chemistry and the impact it has on medicine today and in the future.

Here is information on the The Sarafan ChEM-H/IMA Postbaccalaureate Program which is helping diversify and make PhD education more accessible.
