Viet’s research interest involves the immune response to foreign pathogens as well as pathological manifestations due to aberrant immune responses. His current research deals with the innate immune response – particularly, NK cell responses. In his spare time he enjoys performing various activities whilst perched on the couch and occasionally casting dry flies to willing, rising trout.
