Chu Kong Liew was recently awarded a four-year CJ Martin Postdoctoral Fellowship from the NHMRC. He has used this fellowship to embark on an overseas adventure to that centre of culture (and basketball) UCLA, where he is working in the lab of Rob Clubb. He is continuing in the world of protein interactions and structural biology, and hopes to make an impact in the pick-up 3 on 3 games around campus.
