SCOPUS

RESEARCH BACKGROUND:

LAINGSHUN HUOY has made significant contributions to the field of microbiology and environmental research. Since 2020, he has been working on a SIDA-funded project titled “Molecular characterization and antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella spp. isolated from food in Cambodia,” focusing on advanced sequence analysis and publication. He also received HEIP research funding from 2021 to 2023 for the project “Development of probiotic fermented vegetables in Cambodia and their effects on the immune system in vitro,” aiming to finalize product development and publication. Previously, from 2017 to 2018, he completed a project on “Determination of Viral Contamination in Water and Vegetables in Kob Srov Lake, Phnom Penh, Cambodia” with RUPP funding.

PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS:

LAINGSHUN HUOY has been actively involved in prestigious programs and research projects. He was awarded a scholarship for the Fall 2011 Internship program of the UNU & GIST Joint Programme on Science and Technology for Sustainability at the International Environmental Research Center (IERC) in Gwangju, South Korea. In 2014, his research on the “Molecular characterization of Thai Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and serotype 4,5,12:i:-” was accepted for publication in the Journal of Foodborne Pathogens and Disease.

EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE:

LAINGSHUN HUOY has a rich professional background. Since January 2015, he has been a Lecturer and Researcher in the Bioengineering Department at the Royal University of Phnom Penh, where he focuses on teaching and research in microbiology. He also serves as a Senior Research Fellow at the Water Innovation Lab, where he sets up microbiology labs, prepares lab procedures, and supervises research.
