Welcome Message from Thai Society for Biotechnology

Associate Prof. Dr. Chuenchit Boonchird
President Thai Society for Biotechnology

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Thai Society for Biotechnology (TSB), and as Chair of the 37^th Annual Meeting and International Conference of the Thai Society for Biotechnology (TSB2025), it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our flagship event, taking place from 29 to 31 October 2025.

Since 1989, the TSB Conference has served as an active platform for sharing the latest advances in biotechnology and encourage collaboration among academic, industrial, and governmental sectors. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Faculty of Science and the Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, for their efforts in hosting this year’s conference.

The theme of TSB2025 is “Biotechnology in Action.” This year’s program highlights cutting-edge research from both international and Thai scientists, demonstrating how biotechnology can provide real-world solutions and drive industrial innovation. We are also showcase strong regional collaboration through the participation of networks including the Asian Federation of Biotechnology (AFOB), the Society for Biotechnology Japan (SBJ), the Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering Society of Taiwan (BEST), and the AFOB Malaysian Chapter (AFOB-MC). Together, we aim to strengthen scientific exchange and collaboration across Asia, bridging academia and industry.

As part of our tradition, we will honor excellence in the field through the Taguchi Prizes and the Ajinomoto-TSB Award. The Taguchi Prize, established in 1990, commemorates the remarkable contributions of Professor Dr. Hisaharu Taguchi of Osaka University to the advancement of biotechnology education in Thailand. This prize recognizes exceptional young researchers, as well as outstanding M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses, reflecting the next generation of leadership in our field. The Ajinomoto-TSB Award, formerly known as the Ajinomoto Lecture Award and awarded since 1991 by the Ajinomoto Foundation, honors innovative achievements in biotechnology. This year, the award will focus on innovative contributions in the fields of Health and Medicine.

I warmly welcome all participants to TSB2025. I hope the conference inspires new ideas, cultivates meaningful partnerships, and continues to drive the advancement of biotechnology in Thailand and beyond.

With kind regards,

Associate Prof. Dr. Chuenchit Boonchird
President Thai Society for Biotechnology
