Jetsumon Sattabongkot Prachumsri

Researcher, Director | Malaria Transmission
Ph.D. Biology, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University
More than 30 years experience working on malaria research with focus on malaria transmission in Thailand and non-African countries. Develop in vitro/ex vivo and humanized models to study biology of malaria transmission (gametocytes, sporozoites) and liver stages with emphasize on P. vivax and its hosts (human/vector). Key opinion leader on malaria elimination.
