Special Achievement

Dr. Wang is a leading chemist in Taiwan in the areas of organic chemistry and biochemistry. Two of his most important and far reaching inventions are polyamide thin layers and microwave peptide analysis. The former was widely used for amino acid and sequence analyses of peptides and for compositional analysis of many organic compounds. The latter facilitates the synthesis and analysis of large polypeptides. His contribution in enzymatic organic synthesis has opened a new field in peptide chemistry. As a lifetime researcher and teacher, Dr. Wang has contributed greatly in the fields of chemistry and biochemistry in both academia and industry circles.
