What we do
Three lines of work, each backed by published papers or a funded project. Open a card for the evidence.
Published
AI cell image analysis
Counting, segmenting and tracking single cells from microscope images with deep learning models.
Published
Single-cell FOXM1 sensor and cholangiocarcinoma biology
Measuring how a cell-cycle protein rises and falls in single cells over time, with a tunable fluorescent sensor.
Journal of Cell Science and Cell Proliferation (2025). Cholangiocarcinoma work runs from 2013 to 2025 in Tumor Biology, Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, Hepatology and Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.
In progress
Computational prediction of molecular binding
Molecular docking and virtual screening of Thai herbal compounds against human target proteins.
THP-Target3D, a funded project run with the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital. AlphaFold predicts protein structures, molecular docking finds the binding, and machine learning ranks the results.
Our team
We are a small team that researches and teaches. Student researchers work on the lab's current projects with the principal investigator, learning cell image analysis, computational prediction and cell biology by doing the work.
Porncheera Chusorn, Ph.D. · Known as Ple
Principal investigator · Lecturer and programme committee member, Medical Science Programme, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Roi Et Rajabhat University
Medical biochemistry, Ph.D. from Khon Kaen University. Working on cholangiocarcinoma cells and on measuring protein dynamics in single cells since doctoral training. Current focus: joining computational prediction to proof in living cells.
At Roi Et Rajabhat University since January 2022

Work with us
For students and interns who want real research experience.
We welcome undergraduate students and interns who want to learn research by doing it, on the lab's current projects in cell image analysis, computational prediction and cell biology. No prior research experience is needed.
