Hiep Vu serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where his research focuses on viral diseases affecting animal production, health, and well-being through advanced vaccine development strategies.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Integrative Biomedical Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2013)
- M.S. in Veterinary Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2009)
- BVSc (DVM Equivalent), Nong Lam University (2005)
His laboratory investigates host immune responses to viral infections and vaccinations, specifically targeting correlates of protection and viral antigens that induce immunity. Current work centers on viral receptor-binding proteins and innovative delivery platforms using lipid nanoparticles to encapsulate DNA plasmids encoding viral attachment proteins, enhancing cellular uptake and immunogenicity for long-lasting, broadly protective vaccines.
While specific grant details and advising records aren't provided, Dr. Vu leads active virology research at the Nebraska Center for Virology, with professional profiles maintained on PubMed and Google Scholar. His work directly addresses critical challenges in veterinary immunology and agricultural disease control through cutting-edge nanotechnology applications.
