معرفی
Dr. Quan Nguyen is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience and affiliate of the School of Biomedical Sciences at The University of Queensland. As a National Health and Medical Research Council leadership fellow (EL2), he leads the Genomics and Machine Learning (GML) Lab, specializing in single-cell spatial omics and machine learning for cancer and neuroinflammatory disease research.
- Education: PhD in Bioengineering (UQ, 2013), Postdoctoral Bioinformatics (RIKEN, 2015)
- Expertise: Integrating single-cell spatiotemporal data with population genomics to reconstruct gene regulatory networks and cell-cell interactions in situ.
His research focuses on cancer ecosystems (melanoma, brain cancer) and neuroinflammation, using spatial transcriptomics and deep learning to uncover cell-type specific biomarkers for precision medicine. Key contributions include improving histological cancer diagnosis and identifying novel regulators of cell differentiation.
His 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) span spatial omics in colorectal cancer, HPV-associated cervical neoplasia, neuroinflammation in aging, and machine learning methods for multi-omics integration. These works emphasize single-cell resolution, tissue context, and clinical translation.
Scientific Awards:
- Australian Research Council DECRA fellowship (2019-2021)
- CSIRO OCE Research Fellowship (2016)
- IMB Fellow (2018)
- Predictive modeling tools for digital pathology in GigaScience (prize-winning)
Supervision: Actively mentoring 10+ PhD students on topics like spatial diagnostics, cellular heterogeneity, and multi-omics data fusion. His lab develops open-source software and databases for single-cell analysis, supported by US Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs and National Health and Medical Research Council grants.
