Laying hen: A promising platform for theraputic antibody production
Dr Charin Thawornkuno
Lecturer of Molecular Tropical Medicine and Genetics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University
Charin Thawornkuno is an Associate Professor in the Department of
Molecular Tropical Medicine and Genetics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University. He explores and develops an alternative approach to producing snake antivenom, the only effective treatment for patients envenomated by snakes. In Thailand, antivenom production relies on horses, which can cause various side effects when administered. Unfortunately, an outbreak of African Horse Sickness (AHS) has occurred in Thailand, resulting in the death of over 500 horses since 2020. This outbreak has caused a significant challenge to the country's antivenom production capacity
