Associate Professor Koh Ming Joo from NUS Department of Chemistry has received the Kyoto Rising-Star Lectureship Award (2025) in recognition of his impactful contributions to organic chemistry research.
The Kyoto Rising-Star Lectureship Award was first established in 2020 by the MSD Life Science Foundation and later expanded to become an international accolade in 2023.
Assoc Prof Koh has gained international acclaim for his research in sustainable catalysis and radical chemistry that addresses critical challenges in chemical synthesis through base metal catalysis and radical cross-coupling chemistry.
Assoc Prof Koh said, “It’s an incredible honour to win this award and represent Singapore and NUS in the international arena. It really motivates us to continue our work to develop sustainable solutions that address challenges in chemical synthesis.”
