Dr. Tuyet-Phi Truong earned her Bachelor of Science degree in General Biology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). After graduation, she put her education on hold to help support her family financially. At that time, she worked in a few prestigious research facilities where she published over ten scientific articles through her affiliations with The Scripps Research Institute and Stanford University.
