Biography

Concerned about the inadequate healthcare infrastructure in my hometown, I founded the first student-run NGO in my province to provide medical assistance to vulnerable indigenous families. This endeavor earned me the opportunity to represent Vietnam at the Pearson UWC in Canada, where I was among 200 students from over 100 countries. Despite my relentless efforts, I encountered numerous situations where treatments were unavailable due to scientific limitations and financial constraints. This realization motivated me to advocate for interdisciplinary approaches in global health initiatives that integrate research and entrepreneurship. Consequently, I participated in numerous research projects at Middlebury College, MSKCC, and Rockefeller University. Additionally, I collaborated with the World Telehealth Initiative and local government officials to establish Kenya’s inaugural telemedicine program, which aims to enhance access to healthcare. During my time at Cambridge, I conducted research on extrachromosomal DNA in glioblastoma within the laboratory of neurosurgeon scientist Mr. Richard Mair. Presently, I am pursuing an MD degree at Stanford University as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar.
