Groups focus on applying modern biology such as genomics, proteomics, pharmacogenetics ... into pharmaceutical design. The group has successfully carried out many research projects for influenza A and type II diabetes.
Main research directions:
(1) Clarify causes of drug resistance and design new drug, vaccine using bioinformatics approach.
(2) Development of new drugs from rich herbal sources in Vietnam.
The novelty in the group's study is the application of a modern pharmaceutical development process, which combines multiple methods at once, like “in silico” (computer simulation) with “in vitro” (in test tubes) and “in vivo” (on animals).

Our group focuses on the development of systems that are able to collect biomedical signals and images such as ECG, EEG, fundus images...automatically analyze these signals and images for medical diagnosis. For hardware, we are interested in developing portable and low-cost devices for developing countries. For software, we focus on Artificial Intelligence for signal and image analysis. The goal is to create diagnosis systems that can be used in clinical practice for disease screening and diagnosis purposes.

1. Acquisition and Processing of ECG signal for Stroke prediction
2. Acquisition and Processing of Fundus Images for Eye Disease Diagnosis
3. Acquisition and Processing of EEG signals and retinal images for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis
4. Acquisition and Processing of Polysomnography Data for Sleep Disorder Diagnosis
5. Acquisition and Processing of Gene Data for Cancer Diagnosis
