Institutions

Chi-Huey Wong is a Taiwanese-American biochemist. He is currently the Scripps Family Chair Professor at the Scripps Research Institute,[1] California in the Department of Chemistry. He is a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, won the Wolf Prize in Chemistry and the RSC Robert Robinson Award.[2] and has published more than 700 papers and holds more than 100 patents.[3]

Education[]

Wong  received his BS and MS in Biochemical Sciences from National Taiwan University in Taipei, followed by his PhD in Chemistry in 1982 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the direction of Professor George M. Whitesides to study the use of enzymes as catalysts in organic synthesis.[4]

Research and Career[]

Wong continued his postdoctoral research work with George M. Whitesides at Harvard University from 1982 to 1983, then began his independent career at Texas A&M University in the Chemistry Department. During his tenure at Texas A&M University, he went through the ranks including Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor of Chemistry.

Wong was appointed as the Ernest W. Hahn Chair and Professor of Chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute and while he was a faculty member at Scripps, he also served as head of the Frontier Research Program on Glycotechnology at Riken in Japan[5] and Director of the Genomics Research Center at Academia Sinica,[6] and was later appointed by the President of the Republic of China (Taiwan) as the President of Academia Sinica. Now, he is  serving at the Scripps Research Institute as Scripps Family Chair Professor of Chemistry.[7]

Wong is best known for his original contributions to glycoscience, especially his development of chemo-enzymatic methods for the practical synthesis of oligosaccharides[8][9][10][11][12] and glycoproteins[13][14][15][16][17] and the hierarchical and programmable one-pot synthesis method for the rapid preparation of a large number of oligosaccharides.[18] The original synthetic methods developed by Wong along with his work on the development of glycan microarrays[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] for the high-throughput analysis of protein-carbohydrate interaction and the design of glycosylation probes[26][27][28] have enabled not only the fundamental study of glycosylation in biology[29][30][31][32][33] but also the clinical development of carbohydrate-based medicines, including vaccines and homogeneous antibodies for the treatment of cancers and infectious diseases.[34][35][36][37][38]

Awards and honors[]

Wong has received the Arthur C. Cope Award[39] by the American Chemical Society. Additional awards include the Wolf Prize in Chemistry,[40]  Royal Society of Chemistry Robert Robinson Award,[41] Searle Scholar Award, Presidential Young Investigator Award, IUPAC International Carbohydrate Award, American Chemical Society Harrison Howe Award, American Chemical Society Claude S. Hudson Award, International Enzyme Engineering Award, the United States Presidential Green Chemistry Award, the F.A. Cotton Medal for Excellence[42] in Chemical Research, and the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry.

Memberships[]

Wong was elected as a member of the Academia Sinica in 1994, the American Academy of Arts and Science in 1996, the United States National Academy of Sciences in 2002, the World Academy of Sciences in 2007, the United States National Academy of Inventors in 2014, and also an Associate Member of the European Molecular Biology Organization in 2010.[43]
