About me
Dr. Soracha received Ph.D. in Nanoengineering from the University of California, San Diego in 2014 and received postdoctoral trainings under the mentorship of Prof. Liangfang Zhang at UCSD during 2014-2017. She holds B.Pharm. degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Prince of Songkla University and M.E. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Colorado State University. She joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Mahidol University in 2020.
Her research focuses on the development of biomimetic nanomaterials and multifunctional nanoparticles for several therapeutic applications including the treatment and diagnostic of infectious disease, and cancer. Her works lead to 27 top peer-review journals including PNAS, ACS Nano, Nature and patents, with H-index=26.
Her goal is to develop novel therapeutic nano-biomaterials and diagnostic devices that can translate into clinical practice, with the goal of improving patient’s health.
