I have over 15 years of research experience with in-depth knowledge of and hands-on experience in molecular biology, genetic engineering and standard/synthetic microbiology. I am fortunate to have lived and worked in various countries: Vietnam, South Korea, Canada and now Norway.
In the past, my study focused on engineering strains to produce bio-degradable polymers (bioplastics). My current specialty lies in the One Health Continuum approach to mitigate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threats. I have been part of many AMR projects across Canada (JPIAMR ARMIS, AMR in poultry production) and Norway (Microplastresist, MARMIB, ODIN, ExploreAMREnv). I have led a work package in an AMR project (TRUSTME) funded by NordForsk. My future research direction is towards utilizing artificial intelligent (AI) in addressing the pressing human health crisis (AMR) and how we can combine AI and synthetic microbiology to combat resistant pathogens/superbugs.
