Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Thidathip Wongsurawat's research investigates bacterial genomics and antimicrobial resistance, with a focus on zoonotic pathogens. Her work includes the genomic characterization of *Streptococcus suis* strains isolated from human patients in Thailand, identifying clonal complexes and acquired multi-drug resistance, as seen in a 2023 outbreak report. Wongsurawat also studies *Neisseria gonorrhoeae*, reporting the first case of multidrug-resistant infection in heterosexual men in Thailand with reduced susceptibility to ceftriaxone.

Beyond infectious diseases, her research extends to comparative genomics and transcriptomics, including a chromosome-level assembly of the black tiger shrimp (*Penaeus monodon*) genome to identify growth-associated genes. She has also explored sequencing technologies for transcriptomic landscape identification in *Penaeus monodon* and investigated the human germline, including circular DNA and its association with recombination. Wongsurawat's work also touches upon cancer biology, with a publication on distinct and aggressive IDH-mutant oligosarcomas, and the gut microbiome, analyzing short-chain fatty acid-associated bacterial taxa in Thai traditional fermented soybeans.

With a high-impact researcher designation and an h-index of 29 with over 2,800 citations across 170 publications, Wongsurawat leads an active research group. She frequently collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Piroon Jenjaroenpun (46 shared publications) and Intawat Nookaew (12 shared publications).
