Bibliometric figures come from OpenAlex (2026-10-02) and cover the author's entire public record, not just the papers listed here. Reproducibility signal comes from Evolve's own reviews.
Research profile
Output—
No publication-volume metric is available yet: this axis counts total papers and recent productivity, which the snapshot does not cover beyond the two reviewed preprints. It will be scored once a fuller publication record is indexed.
Impact—
Impact cannot yet be scored: this axis would track citations, clinical uptake, and downstream reuse of the work. The snapshot contains no citation data for the two reviewed preprints, so this axis stays unscored.
Focus0/100
The focus axis scores 0 because activity splits evenly across two unrelated domains: pain medicine (brain–gut axis clinical research) and antimicrobial discovery/chemical biology each hold 0.5 of the field distribution. With only two reviewed papers, one per domain, the split reads as bimodal rather than deliberate interdisciplinarity; a larger publication record would show whether this dual programming is intentional or a small-sample artifact.
Collaboration62/100
Scored 62 from 21 distinct coauthors, with 12 recurring partners including Wu, W.; You, E.; Li, A.; Chen, J.; Colloca, L.; and Burns, D. S. Both cataloged papers place Wong in a middle author position without corresponding status, consistent with contributing inside multi-investigator teams rather than leading an independent group. The moderate score reflects genuine collaborative breadth that has not yet consolidated around a stable core team.
Activity—
Activity measures publishing cadence — papers per year and recency — but the snapshot lacks multi-year volume data. With only two 2026 preprints on file, annual output and trend cannot be computed yet.
Reproducibility38/100
Reproducibility scores 38, the mean across the two reviewed papers (reproMean 38, reproPapers 2). Evolve rates the IBS music-intervention pilot protocol low for reproducibility readiness — a single-arm N=36 design with no control arm — and the polyamine inhibitor discovery study medium, citing a potency gap plus SAT1/hemolysis limitations. Methodological transparency and rigorous specification are present, but current designs are not yet independently replicable.
Research summary
Wong, C. J. is a researcher at the University of Connecticut whose cataloged work spans two distinct domains: pain medicine focused on the brain–gut axis, and antimicrobial discovery within chemical biology. Evolve has reviewed two 2026 preprints involving Wong, both in middle-author positions. The first, on medRxiv, is a rigorously specified protocol for a single-arm pilot study (N=36) evaluating a 4-week monochord music-based intervention for abdominal pain in adults with irritable bowel syndrome, pairing wearable biosensors with multimodal mechanistic measures. The second, on bioRxiv, reports broad-spectrum inhibitors of bacterial polyamine detoxification — spermine-synergizing compounds acting through the spermine/spermidine acetyltransferases SpeG and PaiA — proposed as antivirulence agents and antibiotic adjuvants against pathogens including MRSA USA300, though a potency gap and SAT1/hemolysis limitations mean the leads require further development. The radar places collaboration at 62, drawn from 21 distinct coauthors with 12 recurring partners; focus scores 0 because activity splits evenly (0.5/0.5) between the two fields; and reproducibility averages 38 across the two reviewed papers, reflecting a control-free pilot rated low reproducibility readiness and a medium-readiness chemistry study. Output, impact, and activity cannot yet be scored because the snapshot lacks publication-volume and citation data. The profile is name-resolved from public bibliographic data; no ORCID was supplied.
Collaboration pattern
Wong's recorded collaboration footprint covers 21 distinct coauthors, 12 of whom recur across the catalog: Wu, W.; You, E.; Li, A.; Chen, J.; Colloca, L.; Kiley, S.; Faremi, B.; Toribio, J. M.; Mahoney, K. J.; Posada-Quintero, H. F.; Chen, M.-H.; and Burns, D. S. On both cataloged papers Wong appears as a middle author without corresponding status, suggesting contribution within larger multidisciplinary teams spanning clinical and laboratory settings.

Timeline
- 2026Co-authored a medRxiv protocol for a single-arm pilot study (N=36) testing a 4-week monochord music intervention for abdominal pain in adults with irritable bowel syndrome, integrating wearable biosensors and brain–gut axis measures.
- 2026Co-authored a bioRxiv study reporting broad-spectrum inhibitors of bacterial polyamine detoxification, acting via the spermine/spermidine acetyltransferases SpeG and PaiA, as candidate antivirulence agents and antibiotic adjuvants.
- 2026Both cataloged outputs appeared as preprints in the same year, spanning clinical pain research and antimicrobial chemical biology, with Wong listed as a middle author on each.

About this profile
This profile is AI-structured by Evolve.Pub from public bibliographic data (OpenAlex) and Evolve's own paper reviews. It is not written or endorsed by the researcher unless the profile is claimed. Radar dimensions are computed from real bibliometrics with fixed formulas — raw figures are shown alongside; missing dimensions mean insufficient data, never zero. Errors? Claim the profile to correct or hide it.
- Bibliometric dimensions are computed from OpenAlex-derived data only; citation counts, h-index, and total publication volume are not available in this snapshot.
- Profile is name-resolved from public bibliographic data; no ORCID was provided, and the name 'Wong, C. J.' may match multiple researchers.
- Only the two Evolve-reviewed preprints are represented; the peer-reviewed publication record and venue history are not reflected.
- Wong is a middle author on both papers, so the degree of independent leadership over these projects cannot be assessed.
