Quan Nguyen to join Bioengineering PhD program at UPenn

May 23, 2023 by scallahan30 Leave a Comment

Quan Nguyen, an undergraduate Weitz Group member since 2020, just graduated with a B.S. in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. Quan has spent his time in the Group designing algorithms that estimate the risk scores of viral infections. This fall, Quan will be starting a PhD in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania.

“I want to apply statistical analysis and machine learning to electronic health records, omics, and other medical data. My goals are to uncover biological signatures/biomarkers of disease severity and predict disease-associated phenotypes. This helps provide on-the-ground insights to deliver better health outcomes for patients.”

Congratulations to Quan on his graduation and embarking on the next step of his career.
