Hong Hien completed her Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne in 2025, specialising in Cell and Developmental Biology. Her interest in translational research grew during her undergraduate studies, motivating her to pursue postgraduate research focused on human health and disease.
Hong Hien is currently undertaking her Master of Biomedical Science at University of Melbourne. Her research is based in the Metabolomics laboratory at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, under the supervision of Dr Yow Keat Tham and Dr Sudip Paul. Her project investigates the role of plasmalogens in macrophage responses to atherogenic stress and explores the potential of plasmalogen restoration to rescue macrophage function following depletion.
