Trinh Tat, Ph.D. (Research Associate II, Program Project Manager â€" Houston Methodist Hospital) Orcid Before coming to the United States, Trinh earned both a B.S. in Biotechnology and M.S. in Genetics from the VNUHCM University of Science â€" Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Upon completion of her Master’s degree in Genetics, Trinh was awarded a prestigious Vietnam Education Foundation Fellowship to pursue her Ph.D. in the United States. In 2009 she joined the lab of Dr. Tim Nilsen at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, OH where her research focused on the regulation of mRNA stability by deadenylation elements and miRNAs. She completed her research and received her Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry in August of 2015. Immediately after completing her Ph.D. she joined Coller Lab at The Center for RNA Science and Therapeutics, CWRU as postdoctoral researcher. Her work in the Coller Lab focused on investigating the mechanism of action of drugs for targeting certain CFTR mutations. In 2016, as a condition of her Vietnam Education Foundation Fellowship she returned to Vietnam to share her training. During these two years, she gained industry experience as she was appointed as Regulatory and Technical Relations Manager at Procter & Gamble. Dr. Tat joined the Kiss RNA Lab at Houston Methodist Research Institute on December 3, 2018. Her current research projects include designing, constructing, and experimentally evaluating novel RNA therapeutic candidates. She is also pursuing bioinformatics training and was co-mentored by Dr. Kaifu Chen for 2 years. She has utilized that informatics training and data mining techniques to predict and evaluate putative cytoplasmic recapping sites in mammalian cells and has experience analyzing eCLIP, RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq data as well. Outside the lab, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her family and friends. Experiencing new cultures, enjoying new natural spaces and meeting new people are always on her top to do list during her vacation. She also enjoys doing flower arrangement and interior design whenever she has some time to spare.
