Welcome to Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology.
Research (Professor Dr. Adrian E. Flood)
Downstream processing and separation of biological molecules
Our current research focuses on separation of pharmaceutical molecules and other molecules of
biological significance, including downstream processing of fermentations and separations from
chemical syntheses. We work with on separations for range of molecules including proteins, amino
acids, agricultural chemicals (for instance the herbicide Paclobutrazol), pharmaceuticals (naproxen,
acetaminophen, ibuprofen,…) and commodity chemicals from fermentations (for instance succinic acid).
