About
Dr. Dinh hold a research assistant professor at Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Chinese University of HongKong (CUHK), Hong Kong. Before that he did a postdoctoral research under Prof. Tuomas Knowles at Center forMisfolding Diseases, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, UK. In Cambridge, he earned experience usingmicrofluidics for studying neurodegenerative diseases. Also, his research is covered in using droplet microfluidic tofabricate plant protein microcapsules with a wide range of applications for drug delivery, personal care, cosmetics, andfood. He earned entrepreneurship knowledge from Cambridge Enterprise, and he is a consultant of Xampla, a spin-outfrom the lab for commercializing plant protein material microcapsule. He got his Ph.D degree from Department ofBiomedical Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore under Prof. Chen Chia-Hung. During his Ph.D., heinvented a novel NIR laser 3D bioprinting for constructing tissues or organs. Before his Ph.D., he worked on Brain-on-Chip at ISAS, Germany. His works were published in prestigious journals Small, Nature Communications, Lab-on-a-Chip,and Advanced Functional Materials. He was invited to give the Keynote Speech and guest dialogue in Organ-on-Chip atInternational MicroNanoConference, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2018.
