About Me

Vivian

Contributing Physician Author

Vivian grew up in Macao and moved to Minnesota by herself at the age of 18 years old to become a food scientist. That’s where she fell in love with medical research while undertaking a research project looking at a hereditary cystic kidney disease at the Mayo Clinic. She decided to continue her career in medical research by getting into an MD-PhD combined program in Chicago. She chose dermatology as her specialty. In her free time, she transforms into a fashionista and a foodie.
