个人简介
Dr Rachel Wong obtained her doctorate in human nutritional physiology at the University of South Australia. She also holds a bachelor's degree in human movement and is an internationally certified clinical research coordinator. She led the Clinical Nutrition Research Centre at the University of Newcastle from year 2013 and helped established another clinical research unit at the University of Southern Queensland in 2017/18. She was awarded the prestigious NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Fellow in 2016 to investigate the effects of resveratrol for healthy ageing in women. Trained in transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, she applied this non-invasive technique to assess circulation in cerebral vessels and investigate the enhancement of cerebral perfusion on improving cognitive function. Rachel since translated her findings to population groups at risk for premature cognitive impairment such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and patients with aortic coarctation and congenital heart disease.
Dr Wong changed her research interest and her career path in 2020. She found her true calling in marine and climate science because she is increasingly concerned about the limited understanding of the oceanographic processes and the marine ecosystems' responses to the rapid acceleration of climate change, despite the ocean covering over 70 percent of the surface of our planet. Dr Wong, at least in her lifetime, aims to reverse the ill-effects, restore and protect vulnerable ecosystems before they go past their tipping points; and, in the same vein, empower the community and businesses to adopt sustainable practices. She believes these issues are among the most important and pressing challenges of our time. She recently completed her Graduate Diploma in Marine and Antarctic Science in 2021 and is currently pursuing her second doctorate at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, to explore the biodiversity of benthic taxa in the mesophotic and deeper depths of temperate reefs. The deep-reef ecosystem is largely unexplored and may provide an enormous service to mitigate some impacts of climate change.
