Truc Nguyen

Truc Nguyen has a diverse work experience spanning multiple companies and roles. Truc is currently working at Frontier Medicines as a Scientist II in Disease Biology, a role they started in October 2021. Prior to this, they served as a Scientist II in Discovery Biology from January 2021 to September 2021, and as a Scientist I in Discovery Biology from May 2019 to January 2021.

Before joining Frontier Medicines, Truc worked as a Graduate Student Researcher at the University of California, Berkeley from August 2014 to April 2019. During their time there, they conducted research on lipid droplet biogenesis and its role in preventing lipotoxic damage during starvation-induced autophagy. Truc also utilized advanced techniques like ascorbate peroxidase proximity labeling and mass spectrometry to identify LD-mitochondrial protein tethers.

Truc's career also includes a research assistant position at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health from June 2011 to July 2014. Truc'swork focused on studying unfolded protein response expression in diabetic mouse models and patients, as well as investigating potential therapeutic interventions for type 1 diabetes. Truc also contributed to the identification of a critical sensor and regulator against excessive cholesterol.

Additionally, Truc gained research experience as a laboratory assistant and research assistant at Smith College from September 2007 to May 2011. Truc'swork involved studying the morphology, evolution, and phylogenetic relationships of testate lobose amoebae using genetic techniques.

Lastly, Truc worked as a research assistant at the University of Massachusetts Amherst from May 2010 to September 2010.

Overall, Truc Nguyen's work experience demonstrates their expertise in disease biology, discovery biology, lipid droplet biogenesis, and diabetes research. Truc has demonstrated strong research skills, including the use of advanced techniques and genetic analysis.

Truc Nguyen completed a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Biological Sciences at Smith College from 2007 to 2011. Following that, Nguyen pursued further education at the University of California, Berkeley, where they obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Metabolic Biology from 2014 to 2019.
