Biography
Prof. Huynh Dinh Chien is a dedicated medical teacher who emphasizes medical care activities for poor communities, especially ethnic minorities in Central Vietnam. After being granted his PhD degree in Immunology in Hungary in 1989, he engaged in research on immunology and poverty reduction, particularly in ethnic minority areas. Building clinical trial areas for new antimalarial drugs is the focus of his ongoing research.
Prof. Chien has compiled and published 17 books (3 in English), published more than 50 scientific articles in international journals, participated as a presenter in more than 20 international conferences, and many domestic workshops and seminars. He was awarded the title Associate Professor in 2002 and Full Professor in 2009. Prof. Chien has been invited to act as a consultant expert for many international projects at non-governmental organizations as well as at the Vietnam Ministry of Health. He has been granted a Vietnamese Copyright Certificate for an Online Pronuntiation Illustrated English-Vietnamese Medical Dictionary and a European Patent for a New Substance against Drug-Resistant Malaria. He joined Vinmec Health System in 2017 and was introduced to work at VinUni since 2019.
