About
Van Ngoc Bui is a pioneering researcher in environmental biotechnology and biosensor development, with a focus on detecting hazardous substances and modeling enzymatic systems. Her work addresses critical challenges in monitoring environmental pollutants, particularly carcinogens and procarcinogens released from industrial, agricultural, and healthcare sources in Vietnam. In her highly cited 2016 study, Bui engineered a novel yeast-based biosensor transformed with plasmids incorporating a RAD54 reporter construct and cytochrome P450 genes, enabling the detection and evaluation of procarcinogens—a breakthrough for rapid, cost-effective environmental screening. This system has garnered 17 citations for its innovative approach to toxicology. Earlier, in her 2010 paper, she developed a computer-controlled automated assay for comprehensive enzyme kinetic studies, allowing precise quantification of protein stability and activity under varying pH, salinity, and substrate conditions. This work, also with 17 citations, advanced the modeling of biological systems by providing robust kinetic data. Bui’s contributions are notable for merging synthetic biology with environmental monitoring, offering practical tools for pollution assessment and public health protection. Her research continues to inspire students and researchers in biosensor engineering and ecotoxicology.
