College of Health Sciences
Life Science Researcher
Biography
Dr. Dinh Duy Thanh received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biology from Vietnam National University, and the D.Sc. degree from University of Liège (Belgium). Additionally, he is European-certified animal scientist with extensive experience on the laboratory zebrafish.
Dr. Dinh was a researcher at the 108 Hospital (Vietnam, 2008-2009), Vietnam National University (Vietnam, 2010-2014 and 2023-2025), and the GIGA institute, University of Liège (Belgium 2014-2022). He has interdisciplinary research interests, including toxico-/pharmacology, disease modeling, and bioassays.
His works have been published in several well-cited papers. Aside from his labworks, Dr. Dinh are also an active member of the scientific communities. He is currently the Vice President of the Global Vietnamese Young Scholars Association (GVYSA).
