The Division of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Research is a research group operated under the Medical Molecular Biology Unit (MMBU), Office for Research and Development, Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital (Mahidol University). This division was founded in 1994 to conduct research in genomics, and molecular biology in dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue virus and other related diseases.
Over the past 20 years, the research group has published well-known studies which were accepted by the scientific community in both Thailand and internationally. On November 1st, 2010 the Unit has been approved to be set up as the Division of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Research supporting the expansion of dengue virus and dengue hemorrhagic fever research in of multi-disciplinary research fields.
The Division of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Research has been running a collaborative research network with the Medical Biotechnology Research Unit under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital and the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) since 1994. Afterwards, the research network has expanded to include a collaboration with the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University and the supported research funds cover equipment, research budgets and staff to achieve the unit’s mission. This collaboration has led to a strong research network and high quality research along with the expansion of basic research to translational research.
