Biosensing and Bioprospecting Technology Research Group

The Biosensing and Bioprospecting Technology Research Group focuses on innovation development of biosensing and bioprospecting kits in order to strengthen Thailand’s fundamental industries and enhance the quality of life for its citizens. The researches and development are based upon molecular biotechnological knowledge and basic technologies; for example, bioinformatics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. The production of the kits relies on the R&D process: upstream, the search for biomarkers and biological agents; midstream, the creation of specific binders, the assessment of signal detectors, the development of measurement methods, and the quality modification of the agents; and downstream, the development and field tests of prototype products, and possibility and worthiness assessment for a larger production scale. The outcome technologies will be introduced to users in public and private sectors.
