Long completed his medical training in Vietnam and graduated as valedictorian position. He completed his PhD degree in Japan at Tohoku University and is currently a Pathways to Independence Instructor at the University of Chicago with a main focus in breast cancer. Long is broadly interested in how hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment reprograms tumor cells which causes therapeutic resistance and promotes metastasis. His goal now is to elucidate the role of metastasis drivers in reprogramming the tumor microenvironment and assess its therapeutic potential, particularly for patients with triple negative breast cancer. His aspiration is to pursue a tenure-track position in academia in the United States, with a particular focus on becoming a part of an advancing translational research team dedicated to cancer.
