Third prize went to the project of Pham Quang Phuc An and Nguyen Mai Khue (High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences, University of Natural Sciences - Vietnam National University, Hanoi) in the field of biomedical engineering with the topic "Developing a solution to support the assessment of male reproductive health at home".

The three fourth prize projects are: "Research on creating antibodies to neutralize Bolutinum Type A toxin based on Nanobody technology" by Dang Tran Bao Anh and Mai Tam Trang (High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences, University of Natural Sciences - Vietnam National University, Hanoi); "Self-propelled wheelchair to support people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in moving and communicating" by Le Minh Hieu and Cao Trung Quan (Quang Tri Town High School, Quang Tri Department of Education and Training); "Application of deep learning in automatic music composition, orientation for preserving and developing Southern amateur music" by Ha Nhat Bao and Nguyen Tan Duc (Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training).

In addition, the Vietnamese delegation also won four special prizes awarded by sponsors (companies, corporations, and research centers) to projects with great potential and prospects.

The awarded projects include: Project "Developing solutions to support the assessment of male reproductive health at home" by Pham Quang Phuc An and Nguyen Mai Khue, High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences, University of Natural Sciences - Vietnam National University, Hanoi (2 awards); project "Research on creating antibodies to neutralize Botulinum toxin type A based on Nanobody technology" by Dang Tran Bao Anh and Mai Tam Trang (High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences, University of Natural Sciences - Vietnam National University, Hanoi) and project "High-performance lithium vanadium oxide oxidizing material for environmental treatment" by Do Ha Phuong and Nguyen Duc Thai (Viet Duc High School, Hanoi Department of Education and Training).

This is the highest result of Vietnamese students at Regeneron ISEF 2025 since participating in 2013, reflecting the team's continuous efforts and the strong integration of Vietnamese education with the world.
