Jitrada Phetfong graduated with a Bachelor’s degree of Science (Medical technology) at Faculty of Medical Technology, Mahidol University (Thailand) with second-class honours since 2008. She continued studying in a Ph.D. program after receiving the scholarship from the Commission on Higher Education from Ministry of Education in 2009. Her thesis focuses on the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from various cell sources and their differentiation into hematopoietic cells.

Tanwarat Sanvoranart graduated with B.Sc. (Medical Technology) with first class honors from the Faculty of Medical Technology, Mahidol University (Thailand) since 2008. After that she continued her Ph.D. study at the Faculty of Medical Technology, Mahidol University, Thailand and received the scholarship from Royal Golden Jubilee Ph.D. (RGJ-PHD) program until the present. Her research of interest is on cancer stem cell biology with a focus especially on Glioblastoma stem cells.

Darin Siripin graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Science (Medical Technology) since 2006 and continued her Master’s degree (Medical Technology) at Faculty of Medical Technology, Mahidol University. Her thesis during Master’s degree focused on the effect of nitric oxide and caspase 3 on the mediated cytokine induced apoptosis in acute leukemia. In 2009, she received the scholarship from the Royal golden jubilee Ph.D. program for her Ph.D. study at the Faculty of Medical Technology, Mahidol University. Her thesis focuses on the cell fate switching by studying the potential of transcription factors in trans-differentiating erythroblast to megakaryocyte, which have the capability to produce functional platelets.

Witchayaporn Kamprom received a Bachelor’s degree of science program in Medical Technology from Mahidol University (Thailand) with second class honours in 2008. Currently, she is a Ph.D. student from the Department of Immunology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University. Her Ph.D. thesis focuses on the secretory factors of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from both bone marrow and postnatal tissues and their effects on neovascularization capacity of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).

Phatchanat  Klaihmon obtained B.Sc. (Medical Technology) from Thammasat University (Thailand) in 2010. He is a graduate student under Immunology Program, Faculty of Siriraj Medicine Hospital, Mahidol University. His Ph.D. project is to study the epigenetic regulations of acute myelogenous leukemic stem cells.

Porntip Potirat received her B.Sc. (Medical Technology) with first class honours from Mahidol University (Thailand) in 2011. With her passion in Science, she decided to undertake a position as a research assistant at the SiSCR for two years. Her work focused on generation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for cell therapy and disease modeling, and differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to specific lineages. In 2013, she decided to pursue her Ph.D. study at the SiSCR laboratory, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University.
