The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 rewards the development of one of the most useful chemistries developed in recent decades. Click chemistry makes it possible to carry out reactions with unprecedented selectivity, to get only what you want to react. 

Bioorthogonal chemistry, mainly with Carolyn Bertozzi, goes one step further and allows this selectivity to be achieved, but under biological conditions, in a living being. This type of chemistry is having an impact in fields as varied as diagnostic imaging, cancer treatment and the development of new materials.
