Currently Dr Gong is working as a Senior Research Associate in Bioinformatics at the Obstetrics & Gynaecology Department on a project funded by the NIHR (National Institute fro Health Research) to apply high throughput genome sequencing based methods to the placenta, comparing samples from complicated pregnancies (principally those with fetal growth restriction and/or pre-eclampsia) with matched normal controls. The overarching aim is to identify biomarkers for fetal growth restriction and/or pre-eclampsia in the maternal blood.
