🔬 Early Academic Pursuits

Dr. Le Trung Quang’s journey into veterinary sciences began with a strong foundation in animal husbandry at Can Tho University, Vietnam, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree (2012–2016). His undergraduate studies covered a diverse range of essential subjects such as clinical diagnosis, animal nutrition, and epidemiology—laying the groundwork for a promising research career. Driven by a thirst for deeper scientific inquiry, he pursued a Master’s in Veterinary Science and Technology (2021–2022) at the prestigious Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, specializing in cancer cell biology, herbal medicine, and immunological techniques like qRT-PCR and Western blotting.

🧑‍⚕️ Professional Endeavors

Since April 2018, Dr. Quang has been affiliated with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Can Tho University, serving first as a practicing veterinarian and later transitioning into a research-centric role. His practical experience diagnosing and treating companion animals has given him valuable clinical insights that now inform his research into zoonotic diseases, oncology, and immunology in animals. His multidisciplinary approach bridges clinical care with cutting-edge research—an asset rare in the field.

📚 Contributions and Research Focus

Dr. Quang’s research spans several crucial domains: animal models for cancer, infectious diseases (canine distemper, lumpy skin disease, IBDV, FPV), and epidemiology of zoonotic and livestock diseases. Notably, his work on the anti-proliferative effects of cannabinoids on pancreatic cancer in animal models has garnered international attention, with high-impact publications in journals like Scientific Reports and Frontiers in Veterinary Science. His studies consistently blend molecular diagnostics, pathology, and immunohistochemistry, making significant contributions to both animal and translational human medicine.

🏅 Accolades and Recognition

With over 16 peer-reviewed publications in international and regional journals, Dr. Quang's work has become a valuable resource for Southeast Asian veterinary and biomedical science communities.
