[4] Upon graduation in 2005, Wong worked as a Postdoctoral researcher with Jason Micklefield at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology investigating on the application of chemical biology and surface chemistry to biomolecular-array technologies.

[2][3] In 2008, Wong took part in a research with Jason Micklefield where they developed a new method to manufacture protein microarrays at a much faster and efficient rate than what has been previously published.

Organosiloxanes are used in a wide variety of lubricants and coatings, and chemists use the molecules as protecting groups in organic synthesis and the previous known technique of forming Si-O bonds from chlorosilanes require a lot of energy to make and can lead to acidic waste.

[9][10] In 2018, Wong and his research team developed a new sophisticated hydrogel system (using polyacrylamide polymers with azobenzene cross linker) with reversibly tuneable physical stiffness, controlled by either near-UV or blue light exposure which allow the control of stiffening of a cell's external environment via irradiating the hydrogel with specific wavelengths of light.

The research showed that the use of polyacrylamide polymers with azobenzene cross linker's in this system also negated the need for cell behaviour-altering treatments.
