Electrical Engineering Department

Related to Med. Tech. Network projects, some of our faculty members have

been working in the areas of Biomedical and Biological engineering.

The general goal of their efforts is:

- to provide a person, group or organization with an interest in a project with real

world engineering experiences that entail working with a theoretical idea through

its practical application.

Possible areas of contribution to the GAST Network

- Some skills and knowledge of faculty members in biomedical engineering and

image processing areas.

- The design process of the device/equipment and the decision making process.

The Collaboration with Siriraj Hospital Research interests of the faculty members of the Department of Biochemistry at Siriraj

Hospital mainly focus on medical biochemistry and biotechnology.

Examples of them include;

- Molecular diagnostics of cancer

- Molecular genetics and pathology of human mitochondrial diseases

- Oxidative stress and roles of antioxidants in various diseases, e.g., thalassemia, diabetes

mellitus, and coronary heart disease

- Stem cell research

- Metabolism of iron and other trace elements, and

- Medical biotechnology (e.g. siRNA, antisense oligomers, aptamers).

In a collaboration with the clinicians in the hospital, it is to assist in collecting clinical

specimens required for the study and the sophisticated research equipments/facilities

necessary for the project e.g. flow cytometer, confocal microscope, real‐time PCR machine,

cell culture rooms, etc.
