SOMPONG VONGPUNSAWAD
Lecturer
Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University
Research interest :
- Virology, Molecular Biology
- Microbiology
- Epidemiology
- Medical Genetics
Sompong Vongpunsawad, Ph.D., studies viruses that cause respiratory and enteric diseases in adults and young children. These viruses are often transmitted rapidly and cause wide-ranging symptoms. Vaccination against measles, influenza, and rotavirus have greatly reduced these diseases, but infections by enteroviruses, respiratory syncytial virus, and norovirus remain of concern. The lab’s expertise focuses on the rapid detection of virus infection in patients, surveillance of disease outbreaks in the community, and identification of novel viral variants of clinical importance. Accurate and timely diagnosis of viral infection using molecular/immunological assays will significantly improve patient care and help develop better vaccines and therapies.
