BANGKOK: APSA is pleased to welcome Dr. Kanokwan “May” Chodchoey as the newest member of the Secretariat. Having begun her role as Deputy Director on January 3, Dr. Kanokwan has a PhD in Biotechnology from Mahidol University, and brings to APSA a wealth of technical experience.
The new Deputy Director will be leading the development and execution of the Special Interest Group and Standing Committee activity for APSA.
