I am a Professor in the Department of Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medical Technology, Mahidol University. I am also the Dean of the Faculty of Medical Technology, Mahidol University. My research interest is highly interdisciplinary integrating expertise from chemistry, biology, and informatics for the design, development, and construction of robust biological and chemical entities for biomedical and biotechnological applications. Examples of ongoing research in my laboratory includes: - Engineering of chimeric proteins for biosensor and biomedical applications - Synthesis of artificial receptors via molecular imprinting - Synthesis of metallocomplex for medicinal applications
