A first generation Vietnamese American raised in Philadelphia, Bobby Nguyen was inspired by his parents’ work ethic. He financed nearly all of his college education through grants and scholarships at LaSalle University, focusing on Biotechnology/Information and Knowledge Management, which blends science and technology into an interdisciplinary field in medical science. After graduation, Mr. Nguyen worked at DuPont Performance Coatings (now Axalta Coating Systems). In his position in the Product Stewardship & Regulatory Group, he was responsible for the regulation and support of raw materials in manufacturing and R&D sites. He plans to focus on Medical Devices courses as he pursues Temple’s QA/RA graduate program, so he can contribute to medical technology, providing happier and healthier lives for all.
