PhD in Zoology

Biography:
My name is Le Tam Nhan (Julian) Nguyen, and I recently completed my PhD in Zoology in April 2023, specializing in the functional characterization of the nuclear localization signals of the influenza A virus nucleoprotein.
I am passionate about researching host-pathogen interactions and vaccine development, and I have been actively seeking opportunities in virology and vaccine development post-graduation. Unfortunately, it seems that such opportunities are somewhat limited around UBC and within the industry. Currently, I am working as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Christopher Maxwell’s lab, where I focus on characterizing the functional contribution of BRCA1 in lactation and the increased cancer risk in pregnant women with BRCA1 mutations.

Research areas of interest:

Breast Cancer, Hereditary Cancer

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
