Vietnamese female doctor found the

Gac fruit contains substances that can kill 85 to 90% of cancer cells, especially skin cancer and breast cancer. Gac in Central and Northern Vietnam has the highest cancer cure activity.

Dr. Tien Huynh, a lecturer at RMIT Mellbourne University (Australia), shared about his recent research on Gac fruit in Vietnam.

Dr. Tien said that Gac fruit is very popular and is often used to cook sticky rice. In Sri Lanka, this fruit is used to cook curry, and in Thailand it is used to make ice cream. According to Dr. Tien Huynh's research, natural compounds in gac fruit are particularly beneficial for health , especially in the treatment of cancers such as melanoma or breast cancer.

The results showed that Gac fruit has 54 times higher beta-carotene than carrot and 200 times more lycopene than tomato. Gac fruit contains substances that can kill 85 to 90% of cancer cells, especially skin cancer and breast cancer.

Dr. Tien Huynh has worked hard to study the cancer-fighting properties of gac fruit.

'I want to use scientific evidence to promote the benefits of gac so that people can use this natural product in their daily diet, because this is a fruit of Vietnamese origin, easy to grow and easy to use. use ' - TS Tiên shared.

Dr. Tien encouraged Vietnamese people to use gac fruit in their daily meals. You can use gac with rice or as a drink with coffee to improve your health.

'Through studying in more than 18 provinces of Vietnam, four provinces of Thailand and three provinces of Sri Lanka, I found that Gac fruit grown in Vietnam is the best. Gac in our country has a high nutrient content, strong anti-cancer activity and the most diverse benefits, especially in the Central and Northern regions, where fruits weigh more than 4kg, ' said Dr. Tien.

According to Dr. Tien, when using science and technology to confirm the health benefits of Gac fruit and improve the cultivation process will help protect the environment, save time, and increase income for farmers.

Mr. Nguyen Cong Kha, Director of An Giang Biotechnology Center, believes that this research is very valuable. This is where Dr Tien recently visited to discuss future agricultural projects.

Mr. Kha shared: 'I really appreciate this research work as well as the high applicability of the project'.

In addition to studying gac fruit, TS Tien also focuses on cancer research, tissue regeneration, neuroscience techniques as well as finding and developing new drugs.

In addition to research, Dr. Tien also spends her time advising female students and lecturers from Asia, inspiring them to achieve high achievements, as well as overcome challenges in life and work. . She also leads many overseas work programs and projects that transform and bring sustainability.

During the recent visit to Vietnam, Dr. Tien and a group of students in Biotechnology and Environment (in Honors) Australia carried out projects to study the benefits of cocoa, coffee and a cluster in the treatment of wounds, brain health and cancer.

It is known that Dr. Tien Huynh is the only Vietnamese-born doctoral woman to be honored in the group of 30 'Superstars of STEM ' (Superstars in the field of STEM education - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) by the Organization. Australian Science and Technology awarded in August 2017.
