Young-Tae Chang

Young-Tae Chang is a professor of chemistry at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Young-Tae Chang was born in Pusan, South Korea in 1968. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from POSTECH, working on the divergent synthesis of all regioisomers of myo-inositol phosphates, under guide of Prof. Sung-Kee Chung. He then engaged in postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Prof. Peter G. Schultz. in 2000. He was appointed assistant professor at New York University (NYU) and promoted to associated professor in 2005. In September 2007, he moved to the National University of Singapore and the Singapore Bioimaging Consortium at Biopolis. He is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry, NUS and head of the Laboratory of Bioimaging Probe Development at SBIC. He pioneered diversity-oriented fluorescence library approach (DOFLA),[1][2] and developed embryonic stem cell probe CDy1,[3] and neuronal stem cell probe CDr3.[4] He is an editorial board member of MedChemComm and RSC Advances, Royal Society of Chemistry, and American Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. He has published more than 290 scientific papers and 3 books and has filed more than 50 patents so far. He has received numerous awards including NSF Career award in 2005 and NUS Young Investigator Award in 2007. He is a member of EPSRC College.
