Dr. Chayanard Phukhamsakda graduated from Mae Fah Luang University and has extensively studied many fungal taxonomies; she has also analyzed the chemical production from those identified culture strains. She is currently working with Prof. Yu Li at Jilin Agricultural University engaged in basic and applied research on fungi, with nine scientific papers including one on fungal diversity. She has also obtained 14 novel compounds from fungal strains from her own collections. With her experience, she is well suited to this work because she can prove the taxonomic strains and detect the fungicolus that can affect cultivation, and she has analyzed the stability of the compound profiles of the breeding strains.
