Quy was born in 1981 in Phu Yen. After graduating from Biotechnology, University of Natural Sciences - National University of Ho Chi Minh City, she was offered a chance to work at the university, then reached the position of deputy dean. After that, she went to Germany to study for her doctorate in Medicine - Computational Biology at RWTH Aachen University; and was invited to work as a senior lecturer at Concordia University (Canada) and Stuttgart University (Germany). After 10 years of hard work in the academic environment, she decided to quit her job to "live with the greatest passion of her life". She founded a company specializing in enzyme activity optimization in Germany and developed the second company in Switzerland to retrieve medical data using Blockchain technology for personal health data.
Sharing the secret of a successful start-up, she said: “First of all, young people should define what they want, what their dream is, what their talent is, do the world need that talent, will they get paid for their solutions. If they have answered the above questions and then it's time to think about the career path. They should remember, it is not a walk in the park. You will only achieve worthy results for those who are determined to pursue their path”.
