The project “Single-chain gonadotropins production for fertility treatments” led by Assoc.Prof.D.Sc. Nguyen Thi Mong Diep, is one of the collaborative projects with the research group headed by Prof. Yves Combarnous at INRAe_CNRS. The project has reached the optimization stage for the production of this single-chain hormone for application to assisted reproductive technology in Vietnam.
The success of the scientific projects sponsored by a nationally prestigious science fund like VINIF, carried out by QNU’s research groups has proved its research capacity. The cooperation between VINIF and QNU not only improves scientists’ research capacity but also helps make an orientation of products and technology solutions that bring practical benefits to the community. At the same time, this cooperation also aims to build an ecosystem to promote applied research, connect researchers, research institutes, universities with enterprises.
