Established by Dr. Chi-Huey Wong in 2025, the “Chi-Huey Wong Chemical Biology Award” honors a distinguished scientist who has made exceptional contributions to the field of chemical biology. The award is presented annually, and the recipient will be invited to deliver a keynote address.
The awardee's scientific journey and research contributions will be highlighted in a feature article published by the Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society (JCCS), the flagship journal of the Chemical Society of Taiwan.
Please submit the following materials in a single email:
All nomination materials must be submitted by August 15, 2026, via email to: Ms. Marene Chan at jccs@gate.sinica.edu.tw.
Prof. Christopher J. Chang is the Edward and Virginia Taylor Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University. His lab's research focuses on metals in biology and energy, with major contributions to chemical sensing, biological signaling, and catalysis. He is especially known for pioneering activity-based sensing and for revealing new roles of transition metal nutrients in cellular regulation. His group has also advanced catalysts for hydrogen evolution and carbon dioxide reduction. Prof. Chang has published more than 270 papers and holds 17 patents. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and American Academy of Arts and Sciences and currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of Accounts of Chemical Research.
Dr. Benjamin F. Cravatt pioneered activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), transforming chemical biology by enabling proteome-wide functional mapping and ligand discovery in native systems. His work revealed novel druggable sites, advanced first-in-class chemical probes, and fundamentally reshaped our understanding of disease-related proteins, profoundly impacting drug discovery and human health.
