Biography

I am deeply engaged in the study of mycobacterial diseases, with a particular focus on drug-resistant TB and NTM infections. My research seeks to advance both diagnostic methods and treatment strategies for these diseases. As a member of the mycobacterial working group at Chulalongkorn University, our team integrates molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics tools to unravel the clinical complexity and diversity of these pathogens in Thailand.
