Phuc Van Pham received his Ph.D. in Human Physiology from Viet Nam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. He is currently a Professor of Biology at Viet Nam National University and Director of Stem Cell Institute. He is a longstanding lecturer and translational scientist at the University, and is a member of several societies and journal editorial boards focused on stem cells as well as immunotherapy. Dr. Pham and his colleagues have established one of the first multidisciplinary stem cell centers in Viet Nam, and he has successfully launched an array of technologies in stem cell and immune cell therapy. His research interests include stem cell isolation, stem cell therapy, mesenchymal stem cells, cancer stem cells, immunotherapy and regenerative medicine and he has published extensively in these areas.

After many years of experience as an embryologist, cell biologist, and molecular biologist, collaborating with leading researchers in Singapore, Japan, and the United States, Dr. Pham is a student again, keen to reach beyond the traditional boundaries of biology.
