Biography:
Dr. Andy Tran is a molecular biologist specialising in TB immunology and vaccinology, focusing on antibody-based therapies and vaccines for multidrug-resistant TB. His PhD research contributed to the EU Horizon 2020-funded EMI-TB project, exploring novel molecular techniques for mucosal vaccine development. Postdoctorally, he advanced peptide-based TB diagnostic approaches at TiKa Diagnostics Ltd, and developed novel self-adjuvanting vaccine platforms in the Prof. Reljic laboratory, utilising in vivo models and cell cultures. Integrating 3D printing and CAD design, Andy creates custom experimental setups that enhance the precision and innovation of his research in TB immunology and vaccinology.
