Presentation

Thanh-Nhat Pham obtained his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Ho Chi Minh city (Vietnam; 2007-2012). He then studied a Master of Pharmaceutical Sciences at University of Lyon (France; 2012-2013), and a PhD in Life and Health Sciences at University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté (France; 2013-2016). His PhD work was on the research of new arginase inhibitors from natural sources and hemisynthesis, under direction of Prof. Corine Girard. He was Assistant Professor in Biochemistry and Medicinal Chemistry at Faculty of Pharmacy of Limoges (France; 2016-2017), where he worked with Prof. Bertrand Liagre on the evaluation of anticancer potentials of arginase inhibitors. Then, he joined the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens (France; 2017-2018) as Assistant Professor in Medicinal Chemistry, and worked with Prof. Pascal Sonnet on the synthesis of siderophore-antimicrobial conjugates. He has been working as Associate Professor at Biology-Biochemistry-Biotechnologies School of the Catholic University of Lyon (France) since 2018. His research interests focus on design, bio-synthesis and biological evaluation of new bioactive compounds from natural sources.
