Tina Duong MPT, PhD
Senior Research Scientist, Adult Neurology
BioI am a senior research scientist and physical therapist with over 20 years of experience, specializing in neuromuscular clinical research. Currently, I am the Director of clinical outcomes and research developments within the Neuromuscular division and Co-Director, Stanford Innovative Genetic Neurologic Investigation and Treatment Evaluation Center. My doctoral studies focused on understanding the impact of contracture development on subsequent musculoskeletal and biomechanical changes that influence overall functional outcomes. I am deeply committed to advancing my work by creating innovative outcome measures that bridge the gap with traditional metrics for a range of neuromuscular disorders. Furthermore, I am enthusiastic about investigating the therapeutic advantages of incorporating rehabilitation and exercise as complementary treatments for managing neuromuscular conditions.
In my professional pursuits, I prioritize integrity, work ethic, humility, empathy, leadership, initiative, and drive in all my collaborations. Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem “"to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded", I strive to contribute meaningfully in both my personal and professional endeavors. While it can be challenging to articulate one's accomplishments and impact, I aspire to uphold the values and principles that guide me, serving as a compass in navigating both my personal and professional path. I find it difficult to summarize my own accomplishments or impact. So I would like to share a recommendation that was written about me in which I hope to refer back as my north star in both my personal and professional life.
"Dr Tina Duong is a world renown physiotherapist, master trainer, clinical investigator, scientific academician and most importantly an INCREDIBLE person. I had the privilege of working with her side by side during the development of a new therapy for spinal muscular atrophy. Her determination to help the scientific community, patients and carers is truly inspiring. Her knowledge and skills place her at the vanguard of clinical translation of data and meaningful patient outcomes. Her capabilities span everything from publications, meeting moderation, speaker events and clinical training. She has instinctive clinical intuition which allows her to support drug development and translation in both early stage and also during pivotal trial design, data interpretation and patient care and management. Her ethical and moral considerations of medicine and science means she is 100% focused on each individual to support them as best as possible and this is obvious from everyone who has worked or knows her. Her passion, energy and knowledge inspires people, teams and countries! Wherever Tina goes and whatever she embarks on now or in the future, the value she brings is like no one else and her impact is immediate. I personally look forward to the next opportunity to work with Tina as a brilliant scholar. She lives the ambition of: “The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion”
