Biography
I have 30-plus years’ research experience of infectious diseases, principally malaria, dengue, and other arboviruses. My interest started in immunology –an experimental model of blood-stage plasmodial infection – which provided insights into immune regulation and vaccine design of mainstream relevance. I have progressively developed a broader and more clinical focus encompassing epidemiology, treatment, prevention, and control. Current research collaborations involve colleagues in endemic countries in South and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. I joined VinUniversity in 2021 as a Professor of Microbiology and Immunology.
