Tran Ngoc Huyen Nguyen is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Washington. Tran 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. Tran 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 reliably measure extracellular glutamate with high spatial and temporal resolution. The research was supported by the Lynn Graduate Fellowship. 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. She was awarded the Catalytic Collaboration Training Award from Brotman Baty Institute in 2021.
