CGRH WITH KEY RESEARCH DIRECTIONS
Since its establishment, the development of the center can be divided into two main phases:
The period 2014-mid 2018
During this period, the activities of CGRH mainly focused on the reproductive health. Subclinical studies were carried out based on the cooperation with a variety of hospitals and health centers in Ho Chi Minh city as well as a large number of fruitful international collaborations. As a result, the center’s members have issued many publications in international and domestic journals. Moreover, many researchers from CGRH attended and reported at the prestigious conferences, namely IVF Expert Meeting, Annual Scientific Conference of Ho Chi Minh City Association of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (HOSREM), and Annual Meeting of American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).
CGRH also obtained the privileged Achievement Award in the annual HOSREM Scientific Conference in recognition of the contribution in the field of maternity and reproductive health care in Vietnam.
The period 2018-2019
Within this period, CGRH concentrated on human and microbiological genetics which has been successfully applied in a project to study on the inheritance of dilated cardiomyopathy (2018-2020) funded by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology, Tam Duc Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City Heart Institute, and KTEST Biotechnology Company. The research team published an article on the genetics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the international journal of Circulation with the title “Presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy related gene mutations and clinical manifestations in Vietnamese patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy”.
Additionally, the microbiological genetics team has received funding from NAFOSTED to implement more studies on the mechanism that destabilizes the host cell genome resulting in gastric cancer of Helicobacter pylori isolated in Vietnam (2018-2020). The team also published the article named “Complete Genome Sequence of Helicobacter pylori Strain GD63, Isolated from a Vietnamese Patient with a Gastric Ulcer”.
Up to now, the team has conducted a research study on Helicobacter pylori in Vietnamese children in cooperation with Children’s Hospital and KTEST Biotechnology Company.
