Dr. Freddy Nguyen

Research Fellow, MIT

Dr. Freddy T. Nguyen, MD, PhD, is a Research Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His current focus area is in functional precision medicine to develop new technologies (based on photonics and nanotechnologies) to provide quicker and more dynamic information to determine the most effective treatment for the right patient at the right time. His prior work has focused on spectroscopic techniques (fluorescence, Raman, diffuse reflectance, and light scattering) for cancer diagnostics and therapy effectiveness.

He was previously the Transfusion Medicine Fellow in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Dartmouth, Pathology Resident at Mount Sinai Hospital, Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT,  In Vivo Microscopy Fellow at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and post-doctoral research fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his M.D. from the College of Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He also did research in the George R. Harrison Spectroscopy Laboratory at MIT over the years. He received his B.S. in Chemistry and B.A. in Mathematics from Rice University.
