Biography & Research:
Dr Tuan Anh Nguyen is an NHMRC-ARC funded Dementia Research Development Fellow. His current research lies on the development and implementation of national dementia strategies with a focus on LMICs, culturally tailored interventions to improve lives of people with dementia and their carers, and medicines that can induce cognitive impairment and dementia. His expertise covers broad areas, including pharmaceutical policy, pharmaco-epidemiology and drug safety, health care management, public health and behavioural sciences with solid quantitative and qualitative skills.
Before joining the UniSA, Tuan Anh undertook his PhD training at the University of New South Wales. His PhD thesis examined medicines prices and pricing policies in Vietnam, resulting in a novel model of corruption in the health sector and the first publications to document the contribution of corruption to medicine prices in Vietnam. This work has been recognised internationally and his PhD thesis has been published by the World Health Organization on its website.
Since the commencement of his fellowship in 2016, Dr Nguyen has been working on an international scale. He is the founder and leader of a Vietnam-UniSA dementia research group and the lead investigator in international studies documenting the potentially inappropriate medicine use in people with dementia in Asia Pacific. Dr Nguyen is also the lead investigator for the NHMRC-NAFOSTED project “Strengthening responses to dementia: Building an evidence platform for the development of a Vietnam National Dementia Plan”.
