Biorepository Manager

Le Duy Hoang Chuong manages OUCRU’s biorepository operations and biosecurity systems.

Mr Le Duy Hoang Chuong joined OUCRU in December 2024 as Biorepository Manager for the OUCRU Laboratories. He brings with him a rich background in both public health practice and scientific research.

Prior to joining OUCRU, he worked for 15 years at the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City (PIHCMC), where he held several key roles: Quality Manager and Biosafety Officer for the National Reference HIV/AIDS Laboratory, Project Officer for a US CDC–PIHCMC cooperative agreement on strengthening essential public health functions, and Team Lead for International Cooperation and Scientific Research Management.

At OUCRU, he is responsible for managing the biorepository programme, including the development and implementation of protocols for specimen handling, sample tracking through the Freezerworks system, cold chain management, and temperature monitoring. He also oversees the development of administrative tools such as SOPs, guidelines, and instructions for biosecurity procedures.

His future goals include streamlining operations through automation of sample processing, storage, and retrieval; enhancing data security; promoting best practices and training; and improving resource efficiency to ensure a sustainable and resilient biorepository system.

The Ultimate Prevention: Vaccine Status

What if the volunteer leader had checked everyone’s Tetanus vaccination status before leaving for the field trip?

Vaccination Changes Everything

  • 100% Preventable: As you can see from our play, Tetanus cannot be cured easily once symptoms start and can be costly. But it is almost completely preventable with regular vaccination.
  • 10-Year Rule: Adults need a Tetanus booster shot every 10 years to maintain immunity.
  • Early booster shot: If you receive a deep or dirty cut (such as in the play, one from a rusty tool), you may need a booster if your last shot was more than 5 years ago.

When was your last Tetanus shot? Check your records today — a simple booster is the ultimate protection against unexpected accidents.

Life-saving intervention! Jaw stiffness (lockjaw) is a classic symptom of active Tetanus toxin. Immediate hospital admission is required to secure the airway and control muscle spasms.

Good call! Healthcare providers depend on the full context. Clearly stating that an injury involved rusted metal alerts the nurse to assess Tetanus exposure immediately.

Spot on! Social media content often promotes unverified advice that delays crucial medical intervention. Deep, dirty cuts always require professional evaluation within hours.

Smart choice! Clostridium tetani bacteria thrive in organic material like dirt and leaves. Keeping raw plants out of deep cuts prevents pushing bacterial spores deeper into tissue.

Great call! By stopping work with high-risk, corroded tools, you removed the physical source of Tetanus exposure entirely before an injury could even happen.
