Speaking on transfusions and anticoagulant therapy for hematological malignancies
Dr Wong’s major research interests are hematology and therapeutics. His works include the therapeutic treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) through C3 inhibition with APL-2, which was found to normalize markers of intravascular and extravascular hemolysis, and also evaluating hematological findings of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
