Center for Biomedical Instrument is part of the Institute of Molecular Biosciences, Mahidol University that has a great distinctive role in research and development of biomedical equipment. Furthermore, the Center is utilizing molecular bioscience knowledges and the available facilities to develop various biomedical products e.g., recombinant proteins, biologics, drug delivery methods, etc. Then scale up those products from laboratory research into industrial scale for commercial usage and start up a business model. This work can be a promising opportunity for the Center to gain reputation academically and financially.
