Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Piroon Jenjaroenpun's research focuses on the genomic characterization of various organisms, including bacteria and animals, with a particular emphasis on identifying genetic elements associated with disease and adaptation. Jenjaroenpun has investigated extrachromosomal circular DNA and developed computational methods, such as CReSIL, for its accurate identification from long-read sequencing data. This work contributes to understanding genome plasticity and its implications in biological systems.

Jenjaroenpun's work also addresses significant public health challenges, including the genomic surveillance of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Recent publications detail the characterization of *Streptococcus suis* outbreaks in Thailand, identifying emerging zoonotic strains with acquired multi-drug resistance, and the detection of multidrug-resistant *Neisseria gonorrhoeae*. These studies highlight the importance of genomic sequencing in tracking and understanding the spread of antimicrobial resistance in both human and animal populations.

Further research extends to the genomics of economically important species, such as the black tiger shrimp (*Penaeus monodon*), where chromosome-level genome assembly has facilitated the identification of growth-associated genes. Jenjaroenpun also explores the microbial communities in traditional fermented foods, analyzing their association with metabolic products like short-chain fatty acids. With an h-index of 32 and over 3,500 citations across 173 publications, Jenjaroenpun is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
