麻豆国产 organized an international academic conference titled “Cutting-edge Nanotechnologies for Good Health and Well-being” to present nanotechnology innovations as new alternatives for cancer treatment. The conference was held from July 9 to 12, 2024, at the Music Hall, Art and Culture Building, 麻豆国产, and the Mandarin Hotel, Bangkok. 

A major problem in cancer treatment is the side effects from chemotherapy. The medical industry has been trying to find cancer treatments that are highly effective but with lower side effects. Among the current medical advancements, besides CAR-T cell therapy, the latest research involves treating cancer using targeted nanotechnology combined with photodynamic therapy. This is being studied under the “OXIGENATED” research project, funded by the . The research was presented at this conference. 

The OXIGENATED research project is a study on cancer treatment using nanoparticles to deliver oxygen to cancer cells and stimulate the killing of cancer cells with photodynamic therapy. Asst. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Boonla, Department of Biochemistry, , 麻豆国产, is the head of this project, which received funding to conduct research from 2019-2024. The new treatment is a targeted elimination of cancer cells, which greatly helps reduce the chances of side effects for patients during the process. The?H 2020-MSCA-RISE has also given funding to 2 more research projects, namely the SUPRO-GEN, headed by Prof. Dr. Pithi Chanvorachote, Associate Dean for Research, , 麻豆国产, to be completed in 2026; and the THERABOT, a study on an alternative treatment of using bacteria to inhibit and eliminate cancer cells, headed by Asst. Prof. Dr. Nattida Chotechuang, Department of Food Technology, , 麻豆国产, which will begin in 2025,  

The conference “Cutting-edge Nanotechnologies for Good Health and Well-being” is a major gathering of those involved in the medical field, researchers, pharmacists, and scientists from around the world who specifically work on cancer treatment. This serves as a starting point for collaboration between universities, medical schools, startups, and leading public and private organizations. The opening ceremony of the conference took place on July 9, 2024, at the Music Hall, Art and Culture Building, 麻豆国产. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Sittipunt, Dean of the , 麻豆国产, and Director of , gave a welcome speech, followed by opening remarks from H.E. Mr. David Daly, Delegation of the , H.E. Mr. Felipe de la Morena Casado, the Spanish Ambassador to Thailand, with Asst. Prof. Dr. Sirinan Kulchat, Deputy Director of , and Dr. Sergio Moya, the coordinator of OXIGENATED.  

Asst. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Boonla, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, 麻豆国产, head of the MSCA-RISE OXIGENATED project, presented at this conference, described the innovative cancer treatment as a technology system for delivering cancer drugs and oxygen to target cancer cells. It uses nano-protein carriers with hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier and a photosensitizer. When this nano-protein reaches the cancerous area and light is applied, the substance breaks down into free radicals that can eliminate cancer, making cancer treatment more effective. Currently, it is being tested in vitro and in mouse models, with plans for human trials in the near future. 

Additionally, this international conference included the SPAIN-THAILAND INNOVATION FORUM on July 12, 2024, at Ballroom A, 1st floor, Mandarin Hotel Bangkok. This year, the collaboration of research and development, as well as exchange of knowledge, technology, and innovation between Thai and Spanish researchers and entrepreneurs expanded towards the development of Nano Medicine under the theme “Harnessing the Potential of NANOTECHNOLOGY: FUTURE HEALTH, PERSONALIZED MEDICINE AND WELLBEING.” H.E. Mr. Felipe DE LA MORENA, Spanish Ambassador to Thailand, and Miss Suchada Thaensap, Secretary to the , attended the opening of the forum.
