Biography

Dr. Tiffany Nguyen received her Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) from University of the Pacific and Bachelor of Sciences (BS) in Biological Sciences from University of California Irvine. Prior to joining AUHS, Dr. Nguyen practiced pharmacy at a hospice-focused company for five years, working her way up from Pharmacist to Clinical Services Manager to Director of Pharmacy, and ultimately, to Director of Operations. She directed the internal operations of the hospice pharmacy as well as the non-sterile compounding pharmacy, while also serving as the main point-of-contact for clinical and client services. She managed hospice accounts and partner pharmacies contracted with the company’s hospice-focused PBM–an operation that spanned across California and even entered into Texas, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

Aside from the business administrative and managerial experiences, Dr. Nguyen precepted pharmacy interns and educated hospice nurses and clinical leadership through published monthly newsletters and clinical in-services. She genuinely cares about preparing students to become the best versions of themselves–not only as professionals, but also as individuals and members of the community. She hopes to instill confidence, leadership, professionalism, and humility in the future generations of the pharmacy profession.

Research Interests

The focus of my previous work was centered around biocomplexity and how our immune system communicates with our microbiome, as well as how these interactions affect female reproductive disorders such as endometriosis and preterm birth. Thus, as my next step in my career, I want to continue to focus on using molecular biology techniques in order to gain a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between the immune system and mucosal microbial dynamics.

Bio
Sandor Szabo, a Fellow of the 蜜桃工作室 Gastroenterological Association (AGAF), and an External Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences: After finishing medical school in Belgrade, obtained MSc & PhD in the institute of Hans Selye (the 鈥榝ather of biologic stress鈥�) at the University of Montreal & continued with pathology residency at Harvard Med Sch, Boston, where he became assistant & associate professor. He also obtained an MPH at Harvard School of Public Health, & after 20 years at Harvard, became a professor of pathology & pharmacology at the Medical School of University of California, Irvine (UCI), CA. He also served as chief of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Service for 20 years, of which for 12 years also covered the functions of chief of staff at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach, CA, where he continued his productive research in the molecular mechanisms of stress-related diseases, esp., gastrointestinal (GI) ulceration. His laboratory was the first to publish easily reproducible, chemically induced duodenal ulcers & adrenal necrosis in rats. This was followed by structure-activity studies (SAS) with chemicals that induce duodenal ulcers which is the most frequent form of peptic ulcers in patients. These SAS led to the first recognition of dopamine in the pathogenesis of duodenal ulceration in animal models & man. Subsequently, he demonstrated for the first time the potent ulcer healing effect of angiogenic growth factors which on molar basis 2-7 million times more potent than antisecretory or anti-H. pylori drugs. His laboratory also published the first gene expression & gene therapy results in duodenal ulceration.

So far, he has 235 original, peer-review publications (several in the best scientific journals like Nature, Science, PNAS, BBRC, JAMA, Lancet, J. Clin. Invest., Lab. Invest., Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Am. J. Pathol., J. Pharm. Sci., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther.), 55 review articles, 37 book chapters, 5 books edited, & 241 invited lectures in North America, Europe, Asia & Australia as well as 9 approved patents, mostly for new GI ulcer drugs & one pending application. In teaching activities, he was course director for general pathology at Harvard Medical School & was teaching GI & endocrine pathology as well as courses in public health & toxicology at Harvard & UCI.

He was associate master at one of the 5 student academic societies at Harvard Medical School (i.e., at Peabody Society) & initiated the establishment of similar student academic societies at UCI to promote small-group teaching & flip classroom techniques. In 2013 he initiated the annual week-long international Summer Schools on Stress (https://www.stresseducation.org ) that has been held at various universities over the world, e.g., Hungary, Croatia, France, Slovakia, Japan & Russia.
