Biography
Dr Phillip Wong graduated from the University of Melbourne and undertook training in endocrinology at the Royal North Shore Hospital (Sydney), St Vincent’s Hospital (Sydney) and Monash Health (Melbourne). He obtained his PhD through the Hudson Institute where he investigated the pathophysiology of bone disease in patients with thalassaemia. Dr Wong has made important contributions to our understanding of the link between renal and bone disease in thalassaemia. His research has resulted in a change to the guidelines on the monitoring of renal and bone disease in thalassaemia. Dr Wong was awarded the Bryan Hudson Award in 2014 from the Endocrine of Society of Australia for his PhD research. His work has been published in international journals and presented at national and international conferences.
