Associate Professor Lê Văn Tấn

Head of Emerging Infections Group

As an independent investigator, his aim is to develop local and national expertise within Viet Nam and the wider region so that ongoing and future emerging infectious disease challenges can be addressed from within the affected regions and communities.

His early work focused on pathogen discovery, which led to the discovery of a novel cyclovirus in 4% of Vietnamese patients with encephalitis.

Currently, he is the principal investigator of Southeast Asia initiative to combat SARS-CoV-2 variants (SEACOVARIANTS) Consortium. SEACOVARIANTS aims to develop and apply a multidisciplinary research platform in Southeast Asia for rapid assessment of the biological significance of SARS-CoV-2 variants, thereby informing coordinated local, regional and global responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and emerging infectious disease outbreaks.
