Dr. Shuibing Chen, an associate professor of chemical biology in surgery and of chemical biology in biochemistry, has received the ISSCR Dr. Susan Lim Award for Outstanding Young Investigator from the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR).
The annual award, which carries a $15,000 personal prize and is supported by the Dr. Susan Lim Endowment for Education and Research Ltd., recognizes the exceptional achievements by an ISSCR member and investigator in the early part of her independent career in stem cell research. Dr. Chen was honored for her innovative chemical approaches in pluripotent stem cell research, and accepted her award at the ISSCR’s annual meeting, which took place June 20-23 in Melbourne, Australia, where she also presented her research.
