DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nTuberculosis poses a major public health challenge
  as the cause of more deaths worldwide than any other infectious disease. 
 Among the many challenges are limited diagnostic tools that can be deploye
 d at the point of care in underresourced environments. Indeed\, the most w
 idely used test for diagnosing a tuberculosis infection in low resource se
 ttings was developed 100 years ago\, and there have been few improvements 
 in the last century. This presentation will focus on our recent work deplo
 ying metabolic labeling and chemical tools for improved tuberculosis diagn
 ostics at the point of care.\n\nBio:\n\nCarolyn Bertozzi is the Anne T. an
 d Robert M. Bass Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Chemical & System
 s Biology and Radiology (by courtesy) at Stanford University\, and an Inve
 stigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She completed her undergr
 aduate degree in Chemistry from Harvard University in 1988 and her Ph.D. i
 n Chemistry from UC Berkeley in 1993. After completing postdoctoral work a
 t UCSF in the field of cellular immunology\, she joined the UC Berkeley fa
 culty in 1996. In June 2015\, she joined the faculty at Stanford Universit
 y coincident with the launch of Stanford's ChEM-H institute.\n\nProf. Bert
 ozzi's research interests span the disciplines of chemistry and biology wi
 th an emphasis on studies of cell surface glycosylation pertinent to disea
 se states. Her lab focuses on profiling changes in cell surface glycosylat
 ion associated with cancer\, inflammation and bacterial infection\, and ex
 ploiting this information for development of diagnostic and therapeutic ap
 proaches\, most recently in the area of immuno-oncology. She has been reco
 gnized with many honors and awards for her research accomplishments. She i
 s an elected member of the Institute of Medicine\, National Academy of Sci
 ences\, and American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She has been awarded th
 e Lemelson-MIT Prize\, the Heinrich Wieland Prize\, and a MacArthur Founda
 tion Fellowship\, among many others.\n
