Taipei, July 30 (CNA) Harvard University has academic or professional ties to more Tang Prize laureates than any other institution, and seven recipients of the biennial Taiwan-based award have subsequently gone on to be Nobel laureates, the Tang Prize Foundation said Tuesday. Meanwhile, six Biopharmaceutical Science laureates from three Tang Prize cohorts later received Nobel Prizes. They were joined by Omar Yaghi, a recipient of the 2024 Tang Prize in Sustainable Development, who won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, bringing the total number of Tang Prize laureates who later became Nobel laureates to seven. The Tang Prize was established in 2012 by the late Taiwanese entrepreneur Samuel Yin (尹衍樑) to honor individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions in the four categories. Each category carries a cash award of NT$40 million (US$1.23 million), along with an additional NT$10 million in research funding.
