I am very honored to participate in Columbia Medicine & Summer Program for global students, where I had a chance to connect with like-minded peers and prestigious professors. I felt grateful that students and advisors from the program have helped me in founding Southeast Asia NeuroArts Foundation, an organization pioneers in Southeast Asia in the intersection of neuroscience and art, connecting enthusiasts, promoting international initiatives, and addressing challenges in neurological health for the community. During the program, I conducted an independent research 'A study on Ebola virus persistence and recurrence of disease in the brains of nonhuman primate survivors treated with antibodies' under the supervision of Mr. Paul Lewis - Medical Student at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Researcher & Co-Author, Identification and Evaluation of neuroprotective effect of a butanol extract from centella asiatica
From June 2023 to September 2024, I started working as a lab assistant for Dr. Nguyen Van Tru at Institute of Biotechnology of Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. Our research paper is currently under review of Asian Journal of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
Researcher & team leader, Evaluation of the Hepatoprotective Effects of Cleistocalyx Operculatus (Roxb.) Merr. et Perry Leaves Against the Impact of Ethanol on Albino Mice (Mus Musculus var. Albino)
Summer of 2024, I led a team of 4 members to design experiments, extract materials, and evaluate the liver enzymes, alcohol’s impacts, and the potential effects of materials. Find more about our team research.
Internship at National Key Laboratory of Enzyme and Protein Technology
I did an internship at National Key Laboratory of Enzyme and Protein Technology of VNU University of Science, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. I assisted Dr. Pham Thi Thu Huong in evaluating chemical compound effects on HeLa cervical cancer cells using toxicity assays, contributing to data collection, analysis, and efficacy determination. I also gained insights about real-time PCR with fluorescent dyes, analyzing threshold cycles (Ct) and drawing conclusions on DNA amplification in experimental samples. You can find my research report here.
Researcher, Discover Mesoporous silica impregnated with polyamines as effectivesorbents for CO2 capture
Summer 2023, I joined a team under the supervision of Associate Professor Dao Si Duc - Vice Dean of the Department of Chemistry, VNU University of Science, Vietnam National University, Hanoi to research optimized sorbents and develop an efficient method for mitigating global warming.
