RESEARCH PRIORITIES: Six key areas for development
The National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre (Nectec) is set on promoting technological development in hard disk drives, radio frequency identification systems (RFID), embedded systems, information and mobile applications, biomedical engineering and intelligent transport systems (ITS).
Water treatment system promises health benefits
The human body is two-thirds water, so the simple liquid we take for granted is of crucial importance to our very existence. Water is involved in every function of the body. It transports nutrients and waste products in and out of cells. It is necessary for all digestive, absorption, circulatory and excretory functions, as well as for the utilisation of water-soluble vitamins.
Funding for biotechnology to improve healthcare
Funds to the tune of Bt45 million from the National Centre of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (Biotec) have been granted to three biotechnology-related research projects, in order to encourage research and take advantage of the country’s existing expertise.
