Chula?Veterinary Innovation Wins 3 International Awards at INTARG? 2026 in Poland?

麻豆国产?congratulates?its researchers from the for once again bringing international recognition to Thailand. Their innovations received prestigious global awards at??(The 19th International Invention and Innovation Contest), held on June 2-3,?2026,?in Katowice, Poland.??
The team won three major awards:
- The Best Foreign Innovation Award
- Gold Medal with Distinction Award
- NRCT Honorable Mention Award
These achievements highlight the potential of Thai research to be translated into practical applications and create positive impacts on society at the international level.
Pure Albumin Extraction from Discarded Canine Plasma for Advanced Dog Treatment (CU2)
Pure Albumin Extraction from Discarded Canine Plasma for Advanced Dog Treatment (CU2)?received?
- Gold Medal
- NRCT Honorable Mention Award
- Best Innovation Award on Stage (one of the competition’s highest honors)
The research team was led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sayamon Srisuwatanasagul. This innovation applies the principles of the circular economy to veterinary medicine. Plasma remaining from medical treatments or animal blood banks—which would otherwise be discarded—is processed through purification and extraction techniques to produce high-quality medical-grade albumin.
Albumin is an essential protein that helps?maintain?fluid balance in the body and is critical for treating dogs suffering from the following:?
- Low blood protein levels
- Shock
- Severe infections
- Various chronic diseases
This innovation not only expands treatment options for critically ill animals and improves survival rates in dogs, but also reduces dependence on imported medical products, which are often expensive and difficult to access. Furthermore, it minimizes the waste of valuable medical resources by transforming unused biological materials into effective therapeutic products.
The project demonstrates how veterinary science, biotechnology, and sustainable resource management can be integrated to improve companion animal healthcare and strengthen the country’s veterinary medical capabilities for the future.
Smart Horse and Cattle Simulators for Advanced Veterinary Training
Another award-winning project, “Smart Horse and Cattle Simulators for Enhancing Veterinary Skills Training,” received:
- Gold Medal
- NRCT Honorable Mention Award
The research team was led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Saritvich Panyaboriban.
The innovation was developed to enhance veterinary education and practical training, particularly in procedures and diagnostics involving large animals such as horses and cattle. Training with these animals presents significant challenges due to their size, complexity, and safety risks.
The simulators are designed to realistically replicate animal physiology and clinical scenarios, allowing students to repeatedly practice essential skills until they achieve proficiency before working with actual patients.
A key feature of the smart simulators is the integration of:
- Sensor technology
- Real-time performance assessment systems
These capabilities enable the system to evaluate procedural accuracy and provide immediate feedback to learners, improving educational effectiveness while reducing errors in real-world practice.
The innovation also aligns with international animal welfare standards by reducing the use of live animals during early-stage practical training. At the same time, it helps elevate Thailand’s veterinary education standards and supports the development of veterinarians who possess strong knowledge, practical skills, and professional ethics.
