About me
I am a Principal Scientist at Bristol Myers Squibb. Prior to joining BMS, I was an Instructor at the Division of Oncology, Department of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. I completed my postdoc training at the McDonnell Genome Institute at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, working with Christopher Maher, on "canceromics". Earlier, I was a graduate student in the Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology program at Virginia Tech, working under the supervision of Christopher Lawrence at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (now the Biocomplexity Institute), on fungal genomics and "allergomics". Before that, I was an undergraduate student at the School of Information and Communication Technology at Hanoi University of Science and Technology in Vietnam, where I developed a (currently inactive) Vietnamese search engine in my senior thesis (with Dr. Binh Nguyen).
In Vietnamese, my name is written Đặng Xuân Hà.
