Dr. Wong’s laboratory is home to a diverse group of students and science professionals. She
believes that students should receive hands-on training in the laboratory and be in an
environment that develops the analytical and creative skills that are necessary for academic
success. In turn, Dr. Wong expects those who join her laboratory to genuinely enjoy the process
of scientific discovery and to contribute intellectually to the collective success of the group. In
addition to weekly laboratory meetings and journal discussions, members of the laboratory are
expected to present their work at national and international scientific meetings.
