PhD candidate

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Medical Sciences at the University of South Florida, originally from Vietnam. I earned my master's degree in Molecular Medicine from the University of East Anglia, U.K. in 2020. My research focuses on unraveling the intricate mechanisms of cell death and their impact on human health and disease. I am particularly interested in how these cellular processes influence neurological disorders and cardiovascular diseases. In the ZWang Lab, I am investigating novel molecular regulators of the necroptosis pathway, a form of programmed cell death. This work aims to identify potential therapeutic targets, with the ultimate goal of developing innovative treatment strategies for various conditions. My passion lies in translating complex cellular mechanisms into practical medical applications, potentially improving patient outcomes. When not in the lab, I enjoy exploring new environments and cuisines, finding that these experiences often inspire fresh perspectives in my scientific thinking.
