Dr Huynh is a Group Leader in the Metabolomics laboratory at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. He joined the Baker Metabolomics Laboratory as a Research Assistant in 2012 and has progressed through the lab to Research Officer (2019-2022) and then Group Leader (2022-present). Dr Huynh completed his PhD at Monash University in 2019, where he developed and published high-throughput, comprehensive targeted plasma lipidomics workflows that have since been applied to large-scale studies spanning cardiometabolic disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr Huynh’s research focuses on the development and application of scalable comprehensive mass spectrometry-based lipidomics to resolve cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative disease heterogeneity, with a particular emphasis on developing next-generation high-throughput lipidomics approaches, harmonisation/alignment of lipidomic datasets across platforms and cohorts, and mechanistic and translational interrogation of lipid pathways in population and clinical studies. His work continues the development, optimisation, and expansion of Institute’s lipidomics capability to handle large population and cohort studies.
