The KCS-Wiley Young Chemist Awards are presented annually by the Korean Chemical Society (KCS) and John Wiley & Sons. They are awarded to two young Korean scientists under the age of 40 for outstanding achievements and contributions to the community.
This year, the awards were presented to Assistant Professor Jun Soo Kim, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, and Associate Professor Mi Hee Lim, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), at the 116th KCS General Meeting in Deagu, South Korea, October 14–16, 2015.

Mi Hee Lim studied chemistry at Ewha Womans University, Seoul, South Korea, and received her Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, USA, under the supervision of Stephen J. Lippard. She then performed postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena, CA, USA, with Jacqueline K. Barton and joined the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Ulsan, South Korea, as Associate Professor of Chemistry. Her fields of research are bioinorganic chemistry and chemical biology, specifically metalloneurochemistry in human health and therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. |
