Their work is seen enabling more precise targeting of cancer and other diseases; Bertzozzi is only 8th woman of 189 chemistry laureates; she and Sharpless also Wolf Prize winners

Carolyn R. Bertozzi, 55, who grew up in Lexington, “took click chemistry to a new level,” the Nobel panel said. Read more at Boston.com.

Jonathan Nackstrand/AFP via Getty Images(STOCKHOLM) -- Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Wednesday for their work in making molecules "click." Two Americans, K. Barry Sharpless of Scripps Research in La Jolla, California, and Carolyn Bertozzi of Stanford University in California, and one Dane -- Morten Meldal at the University of Copenhagen -- received the prize. Sharpless and Medal -- independent of each other -- "laid the foundations of click chemistry," a f...

The goal is 'doing chemistry inside human patients to make sure that drugs go to the right place and stay away from the wrong place,' says one of the Americans who shared the prize.

Americans Carolyn R. Bertozzi and K. Barry Sharpless and Danish scientist Morten Meldal were cited for developing a way of attaching molecules that can be used to design better medicines.

STOCKHOLM -- Three scientists were jointly awarded this years Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for developing a way of "snapping molecules together" that can be used to explore cells, map DNA and design drugs that can target diseases such as cancer more precisely.
