Speaker Topic: Microarray Analyses in Pediatric Septic Shock

Dr. Wong trained in pediatrics and in the subspecialty of pediatric critical care medicine, and combines clinical practice in the pediatric intensive care unit with an active research effort. His work in basic science involves heat shock protein-related biology. He is also involved in the area of genomics and pediatric septic shock. This project is a multi-institutional effort to develop a national-level genomic database of children with SIRS and septic shock. The data base is currently being mined to elucidate the genome-level expression patterns that define these clinical entities.
