Bundit Promraksa
บัณฑิต พรหมรักษา

I enjoy many of the Thailand’s beautiful places, such as Khao Kho and Phu Tub Berk where one can enjoy trekking and visiting cafes to chill, dine and drink with mountain views.

PhD program

My research field is natural products. I focus on the biological activities of local Thai plants and its phytochemicals. I explored the bioactive compound from medicinal plants and natural foods based on metabolic profiling and chemometric approach. Therefore, statistical analytical tools are needed to identify bioactive compounds. Recently, I have begun with network analysis for exploring the correlation between metabolites found in clinical samples.
