Led by Cuong Nguyen · Infectious Diseases and Immunology
What we study
The Nguyen Lab studies autoimmune diseases like Sjögren's and snake venom treatments, using single-cell analysis, antibodies, and AI-driven drug discovery. They also research oral cancer in dolphins and develop rapid snake bite identification tools.
