THANH NGUYEN VAN

    Thanh Nguyen Van

    Associate

    Education

    Doctoral student, Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife research
    M. S. Biology, VNU University of Science
    B. S. Genetics, VNU University of Science

    Thanh Nguyen Van is currently a doctoral student at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW), where he is a member of the Junior Research Group Southeast Asian Biodiversity and Biogeography. His research focuses on conservation of threatened mammals in Vietnam, with an emphasis on little-known and threatened species. Recently, his research has employed systematic camera-trapping approaches to model the distribution of threatened mammals in the Central Annamite mountain range.

    In 2012 Thanh began studying the conservation genetics of threatened mammals in Vietnam using molecular approaches to determine their genetic diversity. His samples were collected through noninvasive methods. Currently, as a part of his Ph.D. program, he is combining systematic camera-trapping and terrestrial leech collection to provide detailed information about the structure, distribution, and habitat preferences of the threatened mammals in the Central Annamite mountain range. These spatially explicit biodiversity data will provide an invaluable tool in the management and conservation of Annamite’s threatened species.
