Before joining the UF faculty in 2005, she completed one year of post-doctoral fellowship in Cardiovascular Pharmacogenomics at the UF Center for Pharmacogenomics.
Dr. Gong’s research focuses on pharmacogenomics of efficacy and adverse response of antihypertensives medications, and serious adverse drug events such as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and cardiotoxicities related to cancer therapies (Cardio-Oncology). Dr. Gong is a NIH-funded investigator for multiple R01s and U01s. Dr. Gong was also funded by the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) to 1). develop a computable phenotype for cancer drug induced cardiotoxicity in the Electronic Health Records in order to evaluate this clinically significant adverse event in the real-world settings of OneFlorida Clinical Research Consortium; 2). To identify pharmacogenomic, medical imaging biomarkers and clinical factors associated with cardiotoxicity related to cancer therapies through a multimodal approach using existing data from the UK Biobank. Dr. Gong is also leading the newly established Cardio-Oncology Research Interest Group in the Cardiovascular Collaborative Research Group of the National Patient-centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet).
