Medical guru Suggest the success factors for biotech startups, they must have access to a “health database” with in-depth knowledge of genes, microbes and DNA to develop products that meet customer needs.
Dr. Krit Pongpirun, Research Center for Health Service System Development (TRC-HS), revealed that Thailand is suitable as a bioeconomy production base, especially in food and medicine. Because the natural resource base is suitable and the trend of the people is interested In order to run the food and drug business with biotechnology to be successful, it is important to have a health “database”.
Genetic testing, or “genetic” testing, is a deep physical examination and is used for many medical purposes, such as oncogenic genes and the detection of pathogenic “microbes” in the body. Including a “DNA” test by taking a blood sample or a cheek swab to provide information to diagnose health problems related to heredity. That can lead to research and development of food and drug products with biotechnology to meet the needs of consumers.
However, when the health database is complete Then, technology and artificial intelligence (AI) innovations are used to support and analyze the acquired data. To be able to produce products that meet the needs of the consumer market the most. Therefore, startups that are new generation must have broad and in-depth knowledge.
For example, food or drug production to treat tuberculosis. The first priority is accessing the database from the Department of Disease Control. Ministry of Public Health But the hardest thing is how to get information.
