Associate Professor Dakrong Pissuwan completed her PhD in Nanobiotechnology from the University of Technology Sydney, supervised by Professors Michael B. Cortie and Stella Valenzuela. Subsequently, she conducted research in nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology at the University of New South Wales, Australia. Her academic journey continued with a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship at Kyushu University in Japan, where she worked in the Department of Applied Chemistry, furthering her research in the same field. Later, she joined Osaka University's Immunology Frontier Research Center (IFReC), where she concentrated on the application of nanomaterials in biophotonics. In 2018, she was awarded the Australia-APEC Women in Research Fellowship, and in 2023, she received an Honorable Mention in the Chemical Science and Pharmaceuticals category of the Invention Award from Thailand's National Research Council. She currently serves as the Head of the School of Materials Science and Innovation at Mahidol University and leads the Nanobiotechnology and Nanobiomaterials Research (N-BMR) Laboratory. Her research encompasses nanomaterial and biomaterial developments for various applications. Additionally, her research studies involve examining the biocompatibility of nanomaterials and exploring ways to produce value-added nanomaterials from biowastes.
