Dr. Ella Lai-Ming Wong obtained her PhD degree in medicinal inorganic chemistry from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in 2006 under the supervision of Prof. Chi Ming Che. She continued her academic career as a Post-doctoral Fellow (2007-2009) and a Lecturer (2009-2012) at the same university. Dr. Wong’s research interest focused on in vivo and in vitro anti-viral and anti-cancer properties of inorganic medicines, and advance proteomic research using high resolution mass spectrometry.

Since 2012, Dr. Wong joined the Government Laboratory of Hong Kong SAR as a Chemist. Besides providing scientific services and expert advice relating to pharmaceutical field, Dr. Wong also acquires substantial experience in biologics characterization and peptide purification work. Her recent projects involved the detection of ultra-trace level of macromolecules such as botulinum neurotoxins using mass spectrometry techniques and the development of SI traceability for biologics.
