Postdoctoral Fellow
University of Washington
Seattle, Washington, United States
Tran Ngoc Huyen Nguyen received her B.S in Chemical Biology from the College of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. She holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Purdue University, where her research examined glutamate excitotoxicity after spinal cord injury using implantable microsensors to measure extracellular glutamate with high spatial and temporal resolution. The research was supported by the Lynn Graduate Fellowship. Currently, Tran is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Washington. Her research interests focus on developing high-performing point-of-care/ implantable biosensors and microfluidic devices that can be applied to cancer and women’s reproductive health research. Her current projects build upon her previous training to help fabricate and characterize microfluidic devices to address current questions of preclinical drug testing platforms for cancer research.
