After graduated from the veterinary school, as a research assistant, Dr. Pamornchainavakul was trained in a variety of biomolecular data manipulation including de novo genome assembly, genetic-genomic data and metadata handling, wide range of phylogenetic analysis, selection pressure analysis, and analytic result visualization. In previous research, he utilized the publicly available whole genome sequences of foot-and-mouth disease virus to infer the global evolutionary history and primitive routes of spread of the disease. He is currently involved in several projects mainly focused on PRRS transmission dynamics in North America. Most of the works aim to actively address novel findings and/or updated knowledge on the pathogen evolutionary dynamics to swine producers.
