Albert J. Wong, M.D.
Professor of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to define targets for cancer therapeutics by identifying alterations in signal transduction proteins. We first identified a naturally occurring mutant EGF receptor (EGFRvIII) and then delineated its unique signal transduction pathway. This work led to the identification of Gab1 followed by the discovery that JNK is constitutively active in tumors. We intiated using altered proteins as the target for vaccination, where an EGFRvIII based vaccine appears to be highly effective.

Ansel Austin Wong
Undergraduate, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
BioI am an undergraduate student seeking to pursue a bioengineering major on a pre-med track (with an end goal of becoming a physiatrist). I have participated in independent research in polyphenols and their importance in regulating UV damage. My other interests include nanotechnology, AI-biology compatibility, and prosthetics, though I would love the experience to delve into any field. I also have clinical experience as a hospital volunteer and community health organizer. In my free time, I love playing the piano and writing music.
