Dr Cuong Pham is a Research Officer in the Molecular Imaging and Theranostics laboratory. His research interest is bionanomaterials for improved therapeutics and/or diagnostics.

He is currently working on engineered extracellular vesicles as drug nanocarriers along with next-generation mRNA for personalised medicine in cardiovascular diseases.

Dr Pham completed his PhD in Medical Biotechnology in Oct 2022 at Deakin University. His PhD projects emphasised cancer liquid biopsy through the development of novel analytical methods that can sensitively and specifically quantify and classify new promising cancer biomarkers called cancer-derived extracellular vesicles.

At the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, Dr Pham holds an honorary appointment at the Baker Department of Cardiometabolic Health, University of Melbourne and an adjunct position at the Baker Department of Cardiovascular Research, Translation and Implementation, La Trobe University. He is also currently a member of Australia and New Zealand Society for Extracellular Vesicles and Controlled Release Society.
