About

Since its foundation in 2006, Protein Society of Thailand (PST) has arranged annual symposia for protein researchers and students to exchange their knowledge, experience and expertise among participants. This year, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University collaborates with the Protein Society of Thailand to organize the 16th annual symposium as a virtual conference titled "16th International Online Mini-Symposium of the Protein Society of Thailand." The theme "Advanced Protein Research in the Pandemic Era" is used for the symposium to demonstrate that advanced research can still be carried on albeit difficulties the pandemic has brought about to all researchers. Most of the invited speakers are rising young scientists conducting frontier research on protein and/or related fields. Participants also have opportunities to present and exchange their research through poster and/or oral presentation with an option to publish a proceeding. Research proceedings submitted to this online mini symposium will be as critically reviewed with the same quality standard as any of the preceding PST conferences in previous years.
