Among the published studies, Dr. Phuong spends a lot of time developing new materials with high biocompatibility, such as hydrogels – nanostructured particles that support the treatment of diseases such as soft tissue injuries (bleeding, skin burns, broken hands, etc.), fractures, cancer, diabetes, etc.
Hydrogel materials are the subject of the first research in the field of injectable hydrogels without using H2O2 by Dr. Phuong. This material has many effects, such as being antibacterial, promoting bone differentiation, and can be used in tissue regeneration or the treatment of diseases related to bones and joints.
The research team used polymers derived from nature such as gelatin, chitosan, alginate, etc. in combination with calcium peroxide (CaO2) as an H2O2-producing agent to help promote the gelation process catalyzed by the HRP enzyme while enhancing the biological activities of the hydrogel system. Hydrogels’ mechanical and physical properties, such as gelation speed, mechanical strength, decomposition time, etc., can be easily adjusted through the CaO2 content. The results show that the hydrogel system has high adhesion, inhibits the growth of E. coli and S. aureus bacteria, and promotes the proliferation and differentiation into osteoblasts of mesenchymal stem cells.
Over 10 years of research, the female doctor has owned 2 international patents and 3 national patents in the field of New Materials Technology.
