Hello 👋, I am Hien and I graduated the Algonquin College Biotechnology Program (Ottawa, ON, Canada) with +4 years of experience in educational laboratory settings and a research and development (R&D) industrial laboratory. I am currently pursuing a bachelor of science at the University of Guelph (Guelph, ON, Canada) in molecular biology while partaking in genetic engineering clubs and research projects.
I'm passionate about literature research, writing and verifying standard operating procedures (SOPs), and experimental designing and execution. I have computer literacy with Microsoft Office Suite and am hands-on with various laboratory equipment and office electronics. I had the opportunity to work closely and effectively with emergency triage nurses, family practitioners, horticulture scientists, research associates, and mentees.
Certifications: Medical Office Assistant diploma, CPR Level C, First Aid Level 1, Mask Fit, Pesticide Application Safety, and Ladder Safety training.

This project may combine research, data analysis, social media strategy building, graphic design, and more!

Biomedical-Biological Sciences-N-M + J-S
Our biomedical engineering intern will join our development team remotely. The main task of this internship is to review the scientific literature in order to clarify and validate different crucial aspects of our project which concerns an in vitro study. Reading, reading, reading. You will also assist the scientists in the different steps of the development.

Bridging Science and Spirituality: A Research Synthesis
The project aims to investigate and synthesize research on energy healing, meditation, sound therapy, biofield science, astrology, metaphysics, and quantum healing. The goal is to validate and expand knowledge by documenting credible findings on vibrational medicine, Schumann Resonance, and biofield healing. Additionally, the project seeks to bridge the gap between science and spirituality by exploring how quantum physics, neuroscience, and consciousness studies align with holistic healing practices. The research will diversify data sources by including insights from independent researchers, holistic organizations, and thought leaders. Ultimately, the project will support the development of research-backed content for courses, workshops, and educational materials, translating findings into actionable knowledge for practical applications in wellness programs and holistic therapies.
