Welcome Message

Dear Honored guests and esteemed colleagues, As the chairman, I am pleased to welcome you to join the 14th ACLAB conference during 29 – 31st of May 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. Our mission is to provide all in attendance with the most informative new findings in both omics world and novelty technology relating to LAB and entertaining experience possible. To achieve this goal, we have assembled a roster of authoritative speakers who represent the best and brightest in their fields. These experts have committed to elevating our knowledge to help us reach our full potential.

Our schedule includes exciting pre-conference “Unlocking the secret of life’s molecular orchestra: A journey through Omics”, keynote speakers and presentations from a long list of organizations to share their knowledge and experience relating to “Harnessing the Power of LAB: From Functional Insights to Agricultural and Industrial-Scale Production and Application”. Their willingness to share their knowledge and experience makes this event possible. We could not have put this conference together without their participation, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.

Finally, our hope is that by the end of our conference, we encourage you to make contacts and forge connections that will reinforce interaction with our experts after each presentation to fulfill your knowledge and importantly to enjoy the beautifully diverse scenery and culture of Thailand. Thank you so much and see you all in Bangkok.

Sincerely Yours,

Assoc. Prof. Sunee Nitisinprasert, Ph.D.
