Chi-Huey Wong (Chinese: 翁啟惠; born 3 August 1948) is a Taiwanese-American biochemist. He is currently the Scripps Family Chair Professor at the Scripps Research Institute.[1] He is a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, as awarded the 2014 Wolf Prize in Chemistry and 2015 RSC Robert Robinson Award.[2] Wong is also the holder of more than 100 patents and publisher of 700 more scholarly academic research papers under his name.[3]

Education

[edit]

Wong earned his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Master of Science (M.S.) in biochemical sciences from National Taiwan University in Taipei. He then received a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1982 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the direction of George M. Whitesides. At MIT, he studied the use of enzymes as catalysts in organic synthesis.[4]

Research and career

[edit]

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]

In 2016, there was a media report, speculating that he was possibly involved in an insider trading scandal related to a biotech company OBI Pharma, Inc. headquartered in Taiwan, because his adult daughter had held shares in OBI Pharma.[39] When the allegations surfaced in March 2016, Wong was in the United States. He was quite disappointed by the false report and attempted to resign his position as president of the Academia Sinica twice. Both requests were rejected by the president of Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou. After further consideration, Ma chose to approve Wong's resignation on 10 May.[40] In February 2018, the Shilin District Prosecutors Office announced that charges of insider trading against Wong had been dropped, though an investigation into a possible failure in disclosing his assets during tech transfer of his invention had not yet concluded by the Control Yuan.[41] In April 2022, the Control Yuan publicly announced that Wong did not violate any rule.[42]
