Dr. Patcharapa Tragoonlugkana, Technical Manager of Innovate Biotech Co., Ltd., was honored to participate as a speaker in the discussion session entitled “Private Sector & Commercial Biobank” at the Biobank Excellence Workshop 2025, held at the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, on 15 October 2025.

The discussion focused on exchanging perspectives regarding the role and future direction of private biobanks within Thailand’s healthcare system. During the session, Dr. Patcharapa shared her experience and insights on positioning private biobanks as strategic partners that support healthcare services, medical research, and innovation, thereby contributing to Thailand’s advancement as a regional Biomedical Hub.

In addition, the key topics related to Regulatory Compliance and Ethics, which are fundamental aspects of biobank operations. The discussion highlighted the importance of adhering to international standards, regulatory requirements, and ethical principles governing the collection, storage, and management of biological specimens and associated data. While compliance with these requirements presents challenges for private-sector organizations—including investments in infrastructure, personnel development, and quality management systems—it also offers significant opportunities to enhance credibility, strengthen operational standards, and expand collaborations with academic institutions, government agencies, and international research networks.

Innovate Biotech Co., Ltd. remains committed to advancing biobank operations in accordance with international standards while fostering collaboration among the public sector, private sector, and academic institutions. Through these efforts, the company aims to support research, precision medicine, and healthcare innovation, ultimately contributing to improved quality of life and the sustainable development of Thailand’s healthcare system.
