Dr. Ngo received her graduate training in Biomedical Engineering under the mentorship of Dr. Owen McCarty at Oregon Health & Science University in 2021. Her thesis work focused on platelet signaling and platelet-coagulation crosstalk in hemostasis, thrombosis, and inflammatory diseases.

Dr. Ngo then pursued her postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Kandace Gollomp in the Division of Hematology at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she studied the interplay between platelets, neutrophils, and endothelial cells in modulating pathogen clearance to improve sepsis outcomes.

Dr. Ngo joined the Nizet laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow in the spring of 2024 to continue studying mechanism of platelets in combating drug-resistant pathogens and explore novel therapeutic strategies involving platelet-mimicking nanoparticles for the treatment of sepsis and other thromboinflammatory disorders.
