Yen Giang Nguyen is a junior student at VNU-HCM High School for the Gifted in Vietnam. She has an impressive record in academic competitions. Additionally, she participated in MaSSP, where she studied advanced biology and neuroscience.
Yen’s Research on Axon Regeneration
At CCIR Academy, Yen conducted a research project titled “Axon Regeneration in Dorsal Root Ganglion: Integrin as an Example to Promote Sensory Axon Regeneration.”
Her paper explores axon regeneration in injured neurons of the central nervous system (CNS). It also examines recent advances in promoting axon regeneration in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG).
Furthermore, Yen investigates potential treatments for brain and spinal cord injuries. Her research examines how scientists might promote sensory axon regeneration and support future treatment development.
Yen’s Research Journey at CCIR Academy
In an episode of CCIR Academy Student Spotlights, Yen shares her passion for neuroscience. She also discusses her research experience at CCIR and the process of exploring axon regeneration.
Her project highlights the role of neuroscience research in understanding nerve injuries and investigating possible approaches to treatment.
