After I started Hmong in Biosci, Dr. Zer Vue (featured previously!) reached out to me and others with an idea. Recently, that idea of us writing an article sharing our experiences as Hmong-identifying scientists/trainees in STEMM has come to fruition. cell.com/trends/genetics/ful…
Thank you to, Zer, for her leadership in this effort! To our followers - please share this article, especially with your trainees. Let them know we're here.
"Zoua Pa Vang is a Ph.D. Candidate in #Chemistry in the Clark Lab at #Marquette #University focusing on the method development of precisely installing #deuterium into small organic molecules." #HmongInBioSci #WomenInScience #Hmong #scientist 1/2
"Deuteration at the metabolically labile positions within drug-type molecules can obviate formation of toxic metabolites in the body. We anticipate these reactions will eventually be used in the development of new and safer pharmaceuticals." 2/2 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
"My name is Gaokhia Yang (she/her) and I am a research technician in the Baker Lab at Marquette University." #HmongInBioSci #WomenInScience #neuroscience
"I am an incoming PhD student at the University of New Mexico in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. My am interested in neural circuits involved in behavior." #UNM #BiomedicalSciences #AcademicTwitter #HmongInBioSci
Dr. My Lo Ly Thao is a Professor of #Microbiology at California State University, Stanislaus. Her research interest is in #bioremediation, the use of #microorganisms for the degradation of #environmental pollutants. #Hmong #scientist #AcademicTwitter 1/2
Her current project focuses on the isolation and characterization of bacteria capable of degrading polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), which is a major component of biodegradable plastics. #Hmong #scientist #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #HmongInBioSci 2/2
Dr. Yang is a #postdoctoral research #fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and #Harvard #Medical School. #HmongInBioSci @AcademicChatter #Hmong #scientist @MouaYang21
His research focuses on the redox biology of blood clotting in #hematological #diseases. His research is currently supported by the American Society of Hematology Scholar Award. #HmongInBioSci #Hmong #scientist #AcademicTwitter
Hi followers! This account is active, but due to the low number of Hmong scientists and trainees working in the biological sciences, tweets have slowed. This means we should 1) encourage more Hmong scientist trainees and 2) support existing scientists! #AcademicTwitter
Dr. Kieng Vang-Dings is an #immunologist with expertise in #immuno-oncology and clinical research. #HmongInBioSci #Hmong #scientist #WomenInSTEM
Dr. Zer Vue is the first and currently only Hmong American to hold a Ph.D. in #Developmental #Biology. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at #Vanderbilt #University in the laboratory of Dr. Antentor “AJ” Hinton. #HmongAmerican #scientist #AcademicTwitter
Dr. Vue’s research is focused on how #mitochondria contribute to #disease progression in disorders and diseases during #development and #aging. Other interests include making mouse models and reproductive biology. #HmongAmerican #Scientist #HmongInBioSci
Dr. Pajau Vangay is a #computational #biologist with expertise in the human gut #microbiome. Her main focus is on developing partnerships with and empowering diverse communities to create culture change in the life sciences. #Hmong #scientist #AcademicTwitter 1/2
She is currently the Scientific Community Engagement Manager at the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (@microbiomedata, @berkeleylab), where she works closely with the research community to ensure that #microbiome research data is discoverable and reusable. 2/2
Dr. Tou Yia Vue is likely the first and currently only Hmong American Assistant Professor of Neuroscience. His academic home is the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. #HmongInBioSci #HmongInNeuro #HmongAmerican #AcademicChatter #UNM #neuroscience #medicine 1/2
Dr. Vue's research program investigates cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying glial cell development and glioblastoma development using transgenic mouse models. #HmongAmerican #HmongInNeuro #neuroscience 2/2
