Dr. Wong’s research activities involve the study of angiogenesis in ovarian cancer. Current studies are examining the role of HIF-1 and IL-6 in ovarian cancer, using human tumor tissues as well as cell culture techniques. Dr. Wong is currently studying molecular markers in ovarian tissue from patients who underwent prophylactic oophorectomy and from women with ovarian cancer.
