BMB Thailand organized a meeting to discuss the development of the BMB Platform for creating a national biochemistry student database.

On June 19, 2025, BMB Thailand held a meeting to discuss the development of the BMB Platform for creating a national biochemistry student database, including considering the design of the Lab Directory and Student Database structure.

This important meeting in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology was honored by:

• Professor Dr. Supa-Ann Sirikantharamat provided guidance and vision for creating connections between education and industry. This collaboration aims to develop educational curricula and research projects, benefiting students' skills development and the growth of experts in the biological sciences field.

• Associate Professor Dr. Rina Pattharamanon presented details on the development of the BMB platform, which will help foster national cooperation by linking data among students, faculty, and the industry. This will create opportunities for internships, collaborative research, and the development of credit-awarding curricula. Additionally, it will enhance expertise in various aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology, which will be valuable in the development of high-quality products and services at the national level.

Development of the BMB Platform

The BMB Platform will allow users to access information related to internships and collaborative research from a database compiled by the system. This will facilitate easier communication and collaboration between students and industry organizations, helping to strengthen the relationship between educational institutions and businesses. Ultimately, this will lead to the development of valuable knowledge and skills in the field of biological sciences.

Benefits for Students, Faculty, and Industry

1. Students: Will gain opportunities for internships in biochemistry and molecular biology with leading industry organizations and research institutions.

2. Faculty and Researchers: Will be able to collaborate on curriculum development and joint research projects, as well as create opportunities to use new technologies to solve scientific problems.

3. Industry: Will benefit from access to data on students with expertise in biological sciences and can efficiently match them with related research projects.

From the feedback of biochemistry experts from various institutions at the meeting, the following key conclusions were reached:

1. The BMB Platform as an Essential Tool: Everyone agreed that the BMB Platform will serve as a crucial tool for linking information between educational institutions and the industry, particularly in terms of internships, joint research, and the development of credit-awarding curricula. This will be beneficial for enhancing students' skills and knowledge.

2. Creating Networks Between Academia and Industry: Many participants emphasized that creating a network of cooperation between educational institutions and the industry will provide opportunities to develop new products and provide training aligned with market and industry needs.

3. Enhancing Skills and Developing Experts: The use of the BMB Platform will help enhance essential skills in biochemistry and molecular biology, which can be applied both in research and in industry roles. This will contribute to the development of specialized professionals in these fields.

4. Curriculum Integration: Several participants noted the importance of integrating curricula across various fields to ensure that students possess diverse skills that better address market and industry demands.

5. Enhancing Educational and Collaborative Potential: Finally, the use of the BMB Platform will strengthen the capacity of educational personnel and foster collaboration among different institutions, thereby improving the efficiency of learning and academic development in biochemistry and molecular biology.

In conclusion, the BMB Platform will enhance the connection between education, research, and skill development that can be applied in industry. This will lead to the development of new products and the training of professionals with expertise in biochemistry and molecular biology.
