The Wolf Foundation awards annual prizes of
$100 000 in five or six fields in the arts and sciences.
Chi-HueyWong (Academia Sinica and The Scripps
Research Institute, La Jolla) has been announced
as the winner of the 2014 Wolf Prize in Chemistry.
Wong studied at Taiwan National University, and
worked with George Whitesides at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology for his PhD (awarded
in 1982). After postdoctoral research with Whitesides
after his move to Harvard University, Wong
started his independent career at Texas A&M
University in 1983. He was made Professor of
Chemistry at The Scripps Research Institute, La
Jolla, in 1989, and also joined the Academia Sinica
in 2003, serving as its President since 2006. Wongs
research interests include bioorganic and synthetic
chemistry and biocatalysis, and he was recognized
for his “numerous original contributions to the
programmable and practical synthesis of complex
carbohydrates and glycoproteins”. He has reported
in Angewandte Chemie on chemical probes for
virus detection,[1a] and on capsular oligosaccharides.[
1b]Wong is on the Editorial or Advisory Boards
of Angewandte Chemie, ChemBioChem, Chem-
CatChem, Chemistry—An Asian Journal, and the
Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry. |
