ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4604-0043 Dr. Vipaporn is a plant pathologist with a strong interest and expertise in molecular techniques and bioinformatics analysis. She has a broad background in molecular biology of host–microbe interactions. Her main research interests revolve around the molecular basis of the host–pathogen, focusing on the oomycete pathogens and host–beneficial microbe interactions, especially plant growth-promoting microbes and biocontrol agents. Techniques used in the lab include bioinformatics, CRISPR-based diagnostic tools, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), quantitative PCR, and functional genomics. Vipaporn emphasizes the importance of using genetic database resources as a starting point for designing molecular experiments.
