Biography
From 2014-2018, I majored in Biotechnology in Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh city University of Science. I had gained experience in the Molecular Biology and Microbiology from the thesis related to protein expression and purification of a recombinant M-cell receptor during the time there. From 2019-2023, I switched my interest to Bioinformatics, finishing my Master program in Biotechnology also at University of Science with the project about building a model predicting the protein expression of E. coli K-12 MG1655 based on different machine learning models. From 2023 onwards, I am working on my PhD thesis on Epidemiology, virulence factors, antibiotic factors analysis of hemorrhage causing Aeromonas on catfish collected from the Mekong Delta.
Research interests
I am interested in the Bioinformatics field specialized in bacterial genomics. Specifically, my current thesis revolved around analyzing the genomes content (virulence, antibiotic markers, pan and core genomes) of Aeromonas causing hemorrhage in Vietnam striped catfish,
