Center of Excellence in Translational Research in Inflammation and Immunology, The translation of the basic research into clinical practice; bench to bedside translation.
Research & Innovation Focus
Health and Well-Being + Health
Health and Well-Being + BCG
Health and Well-Being + Industry 4.0
Strategic Objectives
- Translation of basic knowledge in the control of inflammation and immune responses into the clinical situation (clinical practice or health advice)
- Discovery of the new knowledge for the control of inflammation and immune responses using translational research
Target in 3 Years
- The innovation
- Probiotics-derived from Thai population (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus L34) is developing with Greater Pharma company Thailand and Nephrology unit, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongorn University to reduce gut-derived uremic toxin.
- The assay for Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) measuring CIT-H3 with a collaboration with National Science and Technology Development Agency : NSTDA.
- The plasma flux therapy – an initial machine is successfully built but the indication for using this machine needs more study.
- High rank scientific research and network collaboration
- Enhanced career development and increased funding from out-sources. The increased opportunity of the short-term visit for student will be beneficial for Thai Scientific community .
