Dr. David T. Wong extends an invitation to anyone who would like to explore more of research done by the UCLA School of Dentistry, Dental Research Institute to visit their website, Salivary Diagnostics

A chart that illustrates the scientific development of salivary diagnostic toolboxes can be seen at: Salivaomics Knowledge Base (The Wong Lab, at the UCLA School of Dentistry, Dental Research Institute).

Listen to an informative Podcast by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, September 2012 issue, that features Dr. David T. Wong. In this 15 minute interview, Dr. Wong reviews one of his recent research papers and explains how the evaluation of RNA in saliva has the potential of becoming an emerging diagnostic technology in disease detection: "The Human Salivary RNA Transcriptome Revealed by Massively Parallel Sequencing." The link for this podcast can also be accessed on the Home page of The Wong Lab /UCLA Dental Research website.
