Samarium creates powerful magnets. This attraction for doing amazing work is real for Dr Felicia Lim, who has been selected to represent the element in the Periodic Table of Younger Chemists. In conjunction with the centennial celebration of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Year of the Periodic Table 2019, the award honours a diverse group of 118 (representing all periodic table elements) outstanding international young chemists.
Dr Felicia is the second Malaysian, and first from Monash University Malaysia, to receive the award.
Felicia Lim completed her BPharm (First Class Honours) from Curtin University, Australia in 2014 and was ranked among the top 1% of undergraduate students based on academic performances with her achievements recognised in the Vice-Chancellor’s list. She earned her PhD in 2019 from Monash University working in Assoc. Prof. Anton Dolzhenko’s Laboratory of Organic & Medicinal Chemistry.
Her research work focuses on the development of practical methods, particularly using microwave-assisted synthesis and multicomponent reactions, for the preparation of potentially bioactive 1,3,5-triazine based purine isosteres. The advantages of the developed methods include excellent selectivity and good scope of the reactions, scalable and reproducible methodology, sustainable process, and diversity of drug-like products covering a valuable part of chemical space.
The results of biological testing of the prepared compounds open perspectives for the design and development of new therapeutic agents for the treatment of neglected and tropical disease, such as Chagas disease. Her recent and notable accomplishments during her graduate studies include being awarded the 2018 CAS SciFinder® Future Leader, winner of the 2017 Three Minute Thesis Competition, Monash University Malaysia and recognised as the 2016 Outstanding New Leader in the Australasian Peer Leader Award.
