Knowledge in immunology and immunochemistry is vital to the understanding and development of methodologies and products to help solve health problems in developing countries. For example, newly emerged infectious diseases endemic to Thailand and neighboring regions need to have simple on–site diagnostic tests. 

       The Laboratory of Immunology has research focus on 1) development of simple diagnostic tests for antigens/antibodies relevant to health problems in Thailand and other countries, 2) Production of a pan–specific antivenom against elapid snakes and development of in vitro assays to assess the potency of pan–specific antivenoms.
