INPHINITY RU

Integrative Pharmaceuticals and Innovation of Pharmaceutical Technology Research Unit (INPHINITY RU)

Introduction

Integrative Pharmaceuticals and Innovation of Pharmaceutical Technology Research Unit (INPHINITY RU) was established in 2022 from the collaborations of the researchers who are interested in the integrative pharmaceutical sciences and products development by using innovation of pharmaceutical technology from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Faculty of Medicine, Mahasarakham University. INPHINITY RU aims to create knowledge, develop products, provide academic services and transfer knowledge from the integrated pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical botany, pharmaceutical biotechnology and pharmaceutical technology.

Research scopes
