Steven How Yan Wong, Ph.D., DABCC(TC), FACB, obtained his Ph.D. in Nuclear Chemistry from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and received the Sigma Xi Award for outstanding doctoral dissertation. Prior to the coming to Wisconsin in 1993, he was Assistant/Associate Professor (1979-90), and Director, Drug Analysis Division of the Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and Associate Professor of Pathology (1990-1993) and Associate Director of Clinical Chemistry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Dr. Wong’s scientific and clinical interests encompass inter-related areas of TDM, clinical and forensic toxicology, pharmacogenomics and pharmacoproteomics. He is the principal investigator of a multicenter study for assessing pharmacogenomics-cytochrome P450 gene dose effect in certifying 1100 methadone fatalities in US and Canada. In 1996, Dr. Wong established a toxicology postdoctoral fellowship program.
