Biosketch:
Panida Khunkaewla received her B.Sc. degree in Biochemistry and Biochemical Technology in 1997 and M.Sc. degree in Biochemistry in 2000 from Chiang Mai University, Thailand. In 2005 she received her doctoral degree in Dr. Scient. Med. (Immunology) from the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, for a thesis on identification and characterization of functional partners of the integral membrane glycoprotein molecule CD147, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Hannes Stockinger. From 2006 to 2007 she worked as a postdoctoral fellow for The National Science and Technology Development Agency, National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) at the Biomedical Research Unit, Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Chiang Mai University, Thailand. In 2008 she became a lecturer at the School of Biochemistry, and joined the Biochemistry-
Electrochemistry Research Unit, Institute of Science, Suranaree University of Technology in 2009. She was appointed as Assistant Professor in Biochemistry at the School of Biochemistry, Institute of Science, Suranaree University of Technology in February 2013. Her current research interests are focused on production of monoclonal antibodies for clinical application, functional analysis of leukocytes surface molecules that are involved in regulation of the immune system, and a role of minimally modified-LDL in atherosclerosis progression.
