K.T. Wang Bioorganic Chemistry Lectureship
Introduction:
In order to honor Dr. Wang and carry over the mission to nourish the Bioorganic Chemistry Research in Taiwan, a group of the Taiwanese scientists including Dr. Y.T. Lee and Dr. C.H. Wong organized and helped the founding of “K-T Wang Bioorganic Chemistry Educational Foundation” in October 2000. The K-T Wang foundation enables more students and young scholars to have the opportunity to meet with world-renowned scientists face-to-face. Once a year the foundation awards a world-famous scholar to give talks on his/her research experiences. The purpose is to inspire the youth in this field and thus speed up the progress of Bioorganic Chemistry research in Taiwan.
