I have several years of experience from designing new research projects to pioneering difficult projects to completion. Effectively trained for eight years in natural product chemistry and microbiology, developed broad experience including metabolite profiling, isolation and structural elucidation of complex small molecules to biotransformation, microbial metabolism, molecular biology, biosynthesis and human microbiome. Selected Key Research Projects: - Natural Product Biosynthesis: Project Lead in elucidation of biosynthesis pathway of a family of mycotoxins (virulence factors) in opportunistic fungi and bacterial-derived small molecules to better understand the pathogenesis of diseases. - Human Microbiome: Study of Host-Microbe Interaction ; Elucidation the roles of microbiome-derived small molecules in correlation with inflammatory bowel disease and drug metabolism by the human gut bacteria. Skills utilized are metabolomic analysis by LC-MS/MS and NMR, in vitro assay, in vivo mouse experiment, gene cluster identification, bioinformatic, metagenomic analysis and synthetic biology.

Dr. Pranatchareeya received her B.Sc and M.Sc. in Chemistry from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. She moved to Germany in 2010 to work as a scientific coworker at Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (HKI), Jena and to study for her Ph.D. at Friedrich Schiller University. She worked in Prof. Dr. Christian Hertweck's laboratory where she studied the chemical and biochemical analysis of mycotoxin biosynthesis in Aspergillus species. In 2015, she joined the Doania laboratory at the Princeton University, NJ. There, she conducted researches on drug metabolism by human gut microbiome as well as identification of microbiota-derived small molecules in the causation in Crohn's disease in order to improve quality of life of patients. Currently, she is a scientist at a startup company in Boston area. When not engaged with work, Dr. Chamkhamjon enjoys salsa dance and the violin.
