Biography
MSc. Vo Thi Ha Vy received her B.E. degree in Bioengineering from Ha Noi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam, in 2018, and her Master of Science in Chemistry Education from Kongju National University, South Korea, in 2025. Her research interests center on enzyme kinetics and metalloenzymes, with a particular focus on their roles in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. She is especially interested in exploring the molecular interrelationships between biological molecules and metalloenzymes in the context of disease progression. She has a solid background in microbiology and molecular biology techniques, and she has also gained valuable experience mentoring undergraduate students in laboratory research. Throughout her academic training, she has presented her work at both national and international conferences, earning recognition with a Best Poster Award at the Korean Chemical Society (KCS) conference in 2024. In addition, she has contributed as an author and co-author to several peer-reviewed publications in international journals, primarily in the fields of drug design and chemical biology.
