Biography
Dr Nghia Truong is an ARC DECRA fellow and a group leader at Monash University. He is also a teaching fellow at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and a senior scientist at ETH Zürich. He completed his bachelor and master degrees from Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) and then received his PhD from the University of Queensland, Australia. His current research interest focuses on the synthesis of smart polymers and nanostructured materials for a better understanding into the interface of nanomaterials with biological systems (at ETH Zürich) and translating the knowledge of the bio-nano interactions to pharmaceutical sciences and biotechnology (at Monash University).
Available projects for master and PhD students:
Lipid polymer nanoformulations for vaccine delivery and cancer immunotherapy
Nanomaterials for treatments of diabetes and Alzheimer
Hybrid nanoformulations for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases
DNA- and protein-mimicking macromolecules
Magnetic liquid metal nanoparticles for the treatment of drug-resistant bacteria
