Dr. Tran Dang Nguyen is the founder of the Center for Computational Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases (CEID) in Vietnam, established following his tenure as a Research Assistant Professor at Temple University and Penn State University. He earned his PhD from The Open University, UK, in 2016, focusing on individual-based simulations to combat the spread of antimalarial drug resistance.
During his doctoral and postdoctoral work, Dr. Nguyen developed and validated a microsimulation model for malaria, which has been used to evaluate strategies such as multiple first-line therapies, triple artemisinin-based combination therapies (TACTs), and mass drug administration (MDA). His research has informed policy decisions in countries including Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
