    Centre for Women's Health Research

    Dr Stephen Tong is a clinician scientist who works as a Consultant Obstetrician at the Monash Medical Centre.He is also a Carl Wood Senior Lecturer at Monash University, a prestigious title that commemorates Australia's most widely known specialists in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology

    Dr Tong's research interests are early pregnancy, biomarker research and clinical obstetrics.Funded under a current NHMRC project grant, he has been working with a team using cutting-edge proteomic technologies to identify novel blood biomarkers that could be used as a test in early pregnancy to predict the onset of obstetric diseases well before they occur.

    Dr Tong is working in the Centre for Cancer Research in Professor Bryan Williams' laboratory investigating ways of using gene knockdown technology (RNAi interference) to treat various human diseases with the hope of finding novel treatments that can be applied to clinical work.

    In 2007 Dr Tong was awarded a prestigious NHMRC Achievement Award in addition to the two NHMRC grants he currently holds.Throughout his career he has obtained over $811,000 in competitive funding and has had two first authorship papers published in The Lancet (1997 and 2004), and one in Nature (2002).He has also published in most of the top ranked obstetrics and gynaecology journals.

    The method may be able to determine twins' zygosity more than 30 weeks before birth, said principal investigator Dr. Stephen Tong, an ob/gyn clinician at Monash University in Clayton, Victoria.

    The ultrasound technique could establish whether twins are identical (monozygotic) or nonidentical (dizygotic) in almost all cases of spontaneous twin pregnancy between four and nine weeks of gestation, Tong said.
    ...
    Along with several potential clinical applications, social and psychological implications should also be accounted for, Tong said.The International Society for Twin Studies, founded in Rome in 1974, states that parents have a right to expect accurate recording of placentation zygosity diagnosis of same-sex twins.Their similar biology affects their development, and they are blood and organ donors of choice for their siblings.

    "Twins have a right to know their zygosity, and it is likely that they use this information to shape their identities," Tong said.
