Brian J F Wong

Brian J F Wong is a Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. He serves as Director of Facial Plastic Surgery and leads research in advanced imaging techniques for ciliary motion analysis. His work focuses on developing systems like spectrally encoded interferometric microscopy (SEIM) and phase-resolved Doppler algorithms to study ciliary beating patterns in respiratory systems. These innovations aim to improve diagnostics for conditions affecting mucociliary clearance.

Research Interests:

• Development of high-resolution imaging technologies for ciliary dynamics
• Impact of temperature and pharmacological agents (e.g., lidocaine, albuterol) on ciliary function
• In vivo translation of spatial ciliary beat frequency (CBF) imaging

Grants & Funding: Recipient of NIH grants R01 EY026091, R01 EY028662, R01 HL125084, and R01 HL127271.
