Scripps Research leadership, philanthropists and scientists celebrated the recent dedication of the new Chi-Huey Wong Laboratories for Biomedical Research on October 23, 2024, with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception.
Philanthropic support from several donors made this exciting addition to Scripps Research’s award-winning Hazen campus possible. Notably, Samuel Yin, Taiwanese businessman, prominent philanthropist and creator of the Tang Prize, provided generous seed funding to construct the new facility. His son, Chung-Yao Yin, attended the event and delivered remarks on his father’s behalf. Professor Chi-Huey Wong, the building’s namesake, also attended, as well as Scripps Research supporter Jim Zolin, who named the building’s first-floor conference room.
The state-of-the-art Chi-Huey Wong Laboratories is one of the largest facilities built by the institute and marks a significant milestone in Scripps Research’s efforts to enable interdisciplinary collaborations across chemical and life sciences.
