STAFF PROFILE
Dr Thi Thu Hao Van
Research interests
Molecular biology and food microbiology, especially pertaining to antibiotic resistance and virulence of bacterial pathogens, development of veterinary vaccines against viral and bacterial pathogens.
Invited presentation
I was invited to present at the ERHIC II world conference in Nuremberg, Germany, which gathered experts from over 100 countries, in which I was recognised as one of the contributors in the field of antibiotic resistance:
Thi Thu Hao Van, George Moutafis, Taghrid Istivan, Linh Thuoc Tran and Peter J Coloe. Molecular Characterization of Antibiotic Resistance in Selected Enteropathogens Isolated from Raw Food Samples in Vietnam. Ehrlich II – 2nd World Conference on Magic Bullets, October 3-5, 2008.
Currently I am working on a project with Professor Peter Coloe - "Creation of a Salmonella-vectored avian influenza vaccine that protects against bird flu H5N1".
I also supervise research students’ projects on avian virus vaccine development and molecular food microbiology projects, including lactic acid bacteria and antibiotic resistance of food isolates.
