Senior Research Fellow: Aquaculture Genomics and Selective Breeding

Biography

Dr. Nguyen Thanh Vu is currently working under Tropical Futures Institute, James Cook University involving practical genetics and genomic methods for improving fish productivity for Singaporean aquaculture. His background involved multidiscipline aquaculture sciences with an emphasis on genetic research for aquaculture species, especially on enhancing fish productivity and quality via selective breeding.

Over ten years working in the aquaculture research and industry, he has gained invaluable experiences regarding propagation, breeding, nursing, diseases, and selection methodologies in diverse aquaculture species, from fish to prawn and shrimp in the various environments from freshwater to brackish and seawater.

He enjoyed discovering the new area of genomic data inference which attracted his passion. His interest now is expanding skills towards understanding insight into genomics to provide valuable responses to existing industry matters within the selective breeding context.
