Researcher, Director | Malaria Transmission

Jetsumon Sattabongkot Prachumsri

Ph.D. Biology, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University

More than 30 years experience working on malaria research with focus on malaria transmission in Thailand and non-African countries. Develop in vitro/ex vivo and humanized models to study biology of malaria transmission (gametocytes, sporozoites) and liver stages with emphasize on P. vivax and its hosts (human/vector). Key opinion leader on malaria elimination.

Cell biology and G6PD team leader | Malaria Diagnosis

Wanlapa Roobsoong

Ph.D. Medical Technology, Mahidol University

My research is focus on the molecular mechanism of gametocytogenesis and hypnozoite formation of P. vivax with an emphasis to discover new antimalaria drugs/ vaccines. My research is also invent the use of advance technology of humanized mouse model and iPS cell in P. vivax research. I also lead the G6PD team.

Sirasate Bantuchai

Ph.D. Medical Science, Graduate school of Medicine, Ehime University, Japan

My current research aims to study the genetic diversity of Plasmodium knowlesi parasite found in 2 regions of Thailand. And I'm also interested to study on mosquito physiology and finding molecular marker which related to mosquito blood-feeding behavior. Understanding of those might lead us to understand more about disease transmission in the endemic area during the malaria intervention.
