Biography
Dr Oanh Nguyen completed her PhD in 2010 at Monash University investigating T cell adoptive immunotherapy against human cytomegalovirus. She then continued her research as a postdoctoral with Associate Professor Tom Kotsimbos in the Lung Transplant Unit at the Alfred Hospital, exploring T cell cross-reactivity between viral and self-antigens and its impact on rejection of transplanted organs between 2009 and 2013. Oanh is currently an active member of Associate Professor Katherine Kedzierska’s Human T cell Laboratory. Her responsibilities include managing and processing clinical cohort specimens, liaising with doctors and research nurses, human ethics applications, data management and supervision of PhD students. Her research interests include dissection of influenza-specific B cell and T cell immunity in hospitalised patients, influenza vaccination in healthy and immunocompromised individuals, immunomonitoring of cancer-specific T cells during cancer vaccine clinical trials and antiviral T cell receptor signatures.
