Minh-Duy Phan is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland. He holds a BSc from the University of Natural Sciences in Vietnam. Following his undergraduate studies, he worked for two years on the characterisation of multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis with Dr Maxine Caws at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. He completed a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge in the laboratory of Prof. John Wain, where his research examined molecular mechanisms affecting the stability of IncHI1 multidrug resistant plasmids in Salmonella Typhi.
Phan joined the group of Prof. Mark Schembri at the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences at the University of Queensland in 2010. His research focuses on identifying novel virulence factors in uropathogenic Escherichia coli, particularly the globally disseminated ST131 clone, through high-throughput transposon mutagenesis and next-generation sequencing approaches. He maintains ongoing interests in plasmid biology and has developed projects examining multidrug resistant plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-15 or blaNDM-1 resistance genes. Phan is available for supervision and has contributed to numerous publications in the fields of microbiology and infectious diseases.
UQ researchers uncover why some newborns avoid E. coli sepsis through maternal antibodies, advocating probiotics for pregnant women and screening to save lives.
