Bio
Science, especially, biology is my true passion. With more than ten-year experience, I have learned biological knowledge from various categories such as microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, cellular and plant biology. I got a bachelor's and master's degree from VNUHCM - University of Science, one of the school members of the Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM), Vietnam. At that time, my research was about valuable bio-active compounds such as carotenoid pigments, chitooligosaccharides, and some derivatives of chitooligosaccharide. With my supervisors and co-workers, we succeeded to isolate microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, yeast, alga) which were potential in pigment biosynthesis and to investigate optimal conditions to culture and extract canthaxanthin and astaxanthin from them. Regarding chitooligosaccharides, we synthesized new derivatives by chemical methods, then investigate their abilities to neutralize reactive species, protect DNA, proteins and membrane lipids from oxidative damage (anti-oxidative activities), inhibit the growth of virulent strains of bacteria (antibiotic activities), and inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (anti-inflammatory).
I have also keened on plant science since I was an undergraduate student. Nevertheless, my journey with it has just started when I enrolled in the Ph.D. program for international students at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. At Tokyo Institute of Technology, my Ph.D. research has focused on the molecular and biochemical basis of photosynthetic regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana. By reverse-genetic approaches, we identified new gene/protein candidates which may contribute to the precise control of photosynthesis in oxygenic phototrophs. By phenotypic characterization of wild-type and corresponding mutants, we proposed scientific models to explain the possible functions of the identified genes/proteins relating to the regulation of photosynthesis.
Recently, I have keened on Chenopodium quinoa (Quinoa) plants which were domesticated as crops in the Andes, South America long time ago. Quinoa is also known as a typical halophyte plant that can tolerate high salt concentrations in soil. At the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, we are trying to figure out the main mechanisms which can make quinoa so resilient. We have also developed biotechnology tools to study and modify quinoa’s genome to improve the domestication of quinoa for new lands in the world.
