Biography
Dr. Nguyen Thi Huong is a distinguished research scientist affiliated with the Center for High Technology Research and Development, part of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) at 18 Hoang Quoc Viet, Cau Giay, Hanoi. With a solid foundation in analytical and environmental chemistry, she has contributed significantly to studies on environmental monitoring and phytochemical analysis.
Her work encompasses both fundamental and applied research. At IgMin Research, her recent publication in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry details a UHPLC-Q‑TOF‑MS and DNA genetics analysis of Asparagus racemosus root phytochemicals—demonstrating her expertise in integrating advanced analytical techniques with genetic profiling. Beyond this, her authorship spans interdisciplinary topics, including urban river metal contamination risk in Hanoi and contributes to environmental resilience research.
Dr. Huong has led key research initiatives at VAST, recognized through seven scientific projects ranging from institutional to ministerial levels, and she has authored or co-authored 18 scholarly articles. Her interdisciplinary scholarship bears relevance to ecology, public health, and sustainable development.
Holding a postgraduate degree—confirmed by her ORCID profile—her early career includes research assistant roles at the Institute of Chemistry (VAST). Over the years, she has built a robust publication record, with over a dozen peer-reviewed papers and multiple citations to her name.
Dr. Huong’s commitment goes beyond academia; she actively translates her research into practical solutions for environmental safety and phytochemical evaluation. Her work exemplifies VAST’s mission to advance science and technology in Vietnam and beyond.
Research Interest
Dr. Nguyen Thi Huong’s research primarily focuses on analytical chemistry, phytochemistry, and environmental monitoring, with a strong interdisciplinary emphasis. At the Center for High Technology Research and Development, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), she explores the identification and quantification of bioactive compounds in medicinal plants using advanced analytical techniques such as UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS and genetic barcoding. Her work also investigates the toxicological and ecological implications of heavy metals and pollutants in urban water systems, contributing to environmental risk assessment and sustainable urban planning. Dr. Huong’s integrated approach blends molecular biology, instrumental analysis, and environmental science, aiming to develop effective monitoring and remediation strategies. Additionally, she has a growing interest in the standardization of herbal medicines, linking traditional knowledge with modern scientific validation. Her work supports Vietnam’s goals in environmental safety, public health, and biotechnological innovation, aligning with global sustainable development and conservation efforts.
Open Access Policy refers to a set of principles and guidelines aimed at providing unrestricted access to scholarly research and literature. It promotes the free availability and unrestricted use of research outputs, enabling researchers, students, and the general public to access, read, download, and distribute scholarly articles without financial or legal barriers. In this response, I will provide you with an overview of the history and latest resolutions related to Open Access Policy.

The medicinal herb Asparagus racemosus has been used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases such as cough, diarrhoea, diabetes, gastric issues, gonorrhoea, headaches, piles, rheumatism, and even lactation enhancement. This study explores the genetic information and phytochemicals of the species native to Gia Lai province, Vietnam before its conservation and cultivation. Five species of A. racemosus were analyzed using the trnL-e/trnL-f regions sequence. A. racemosus roots were extracted by water then Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chr...omatography coupled with Quadrupole/Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) spectroscopy was used to screen for their phytochemicals. We have confirmed the DNA genetics of A. racemosus species collected in Gia Lai, Vietnam. In water extract of A. racemosus roots, UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS tentatively identified two flavonoids (Quercetin-3-glucuronide, Rutin), five steroidal saponins (Shatavarin I, Shatavarin IV, Shatavarin IX, Asparacoside, Asparanin A), and two steroids (β-sitosterol, Daucosterol). The experimental findings confirm the A. racemosus species for conservation and cultivation in Vietnam and contribute the benefits to the chemical literature of Vietnamese natural flora. A. racemosus should be further studied for pharmaceutical activities.
