Michelle Hermiston, MD., Ph.D.
Professor
Dean, College of Health Sciences
Why did I leave a fantastic job and a satisfying career at a top University to move halfway around the world and join VinUni? It was a surprisingly easy decision. The people (students, staff, faculty) at VinUni are amazing – smart, dedicated, and passionate. To me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something truly bold, creative, exciting, and impactful that has the potential to leave a lasting legacy. As a physician-scientist, having the opportunity to pursue this is a true privilege. The fact that it is so much fun and so fulfilling is a huge bonus. I have not regretted my decision for a moment.
