Who we are

We are a bioinformatics team at CMUTEAM, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University. We analyse omics data, build computational workflows and work side by side with researchers and clinicians — linking genetic variation and population diversity to human disease.

2,954Thai genomes in our reference panel
7selected papers, 2023–26
  1. Population genomics A genotype-imputation server and reference panel built from whole genomes of 2,954 Northern & Ethnic Thai people. In development — open now →
  2. Cancer genetics Inherited risk across head-and-neck cancer subsites: an international cross-ancestry GWAS identifying 29 variants. Nature Communications, 2025 →
  3. Diabetes multi-omics Founding members of DHARA — the Thai Diabetes Health Analytics & Multi-Omics Research Alliance — combining clinical, genomic and multi-omics data under strong data governance.
  4. Childhood leukaemia Long-read WGS, exome and RNA sequencing of B-ALL from diagnosis to relapse, towards a Thai genomic resource and a targeted testing panel.
  5. Training & support Omics analysis, reproducible pipelines, study-design consultation and hands-on workshops in Thai or English.

Our approach

QuestionDataQuality control PipelineStatisticsInsight TrainingCollaboration

We start from your research question, choose methods that fit your data, and build workflows you can understand, rerun and extend. Clear documentation and careful interpretation matter as much as the result.
