A lecturer at the Department of Clinical Tropical Medicine, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University since 2018. She was the Head of Molecular Microbiology at Mahidol-Oxford Research Unit (MORU) between 2011 and 2018. In 2009, she was a 1-year scientist visitor at Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK. She got her Bachelor’s degree (Science in Biotechnology) at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Bangkok, THAILAND, Master’s degree (Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering) at Mahidol University, Bangkok, THAILAND and PhD (Life and Biomolecular Sciences) at The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. During the past 20 years, she has been a part of fever and sepsis research networks leading the molecular diagnosis team in the development and validation of assays screening infection diseases in tropical regions, including leptospirosis, melioidosis, rickettsiosis, scrub typhus and TB. She and her team are developing nucleic acid amplification tests to cover most pathogen genetic variants in South and Southeast Asia and to be cost-effective for patients in resource-limited areas. Currently, she leads the molecular assay team of the South and Southeast Asian Community-based Trails Network (SEACTN)(www.seactn.org). In addition, she is a principal investigator of a pilot TB project to validate the application of nucleic acid amplification tests on invasive tongue swabs as an alternative method for active TB screening and treatment monitorin
