Professor Chng Wee Joo has been conferred the 2020 Brian G.M. Durie Outstanding Achievement Award by the International Myeloma Foundation at the 11th Annual International Myeloma Working Group Summit held on 26 August 2020. He is the first Asian to receive this prestigious award, which seeks to honour an individual who has demonstrated excellence in multiple myeloma research.

“It is such an honour and privilege to be part of the myeloma community and contribute my part in helping improve the lives of our patients,” said Prof Chng at the award ceremony. “I am most happy and grateful for this award as it recognises our contributions and the good work we are doing. It takes a village, so this is also for the whole team back home.”
