Professor Dr. Porntaveetus is the Associate Dean for Research and Innovation, and Strategic planning and the head of Genomics and Precision Dentistry Research Unit, Faculty of Dentistry which was awarded the excellence Research Unit of Chulalongkorn University in 2020. Her work aims to integrate Medicine, Dentistry, Biological Science, and multiomics technologies to explore molecular pathogenesis and provide personalized health care for patients affected by connective tissue and orodental disorders including skeletal dysplasias, cleft palate, orodental anomalies, and tooth defects. In collaboration with the Center of Excellence for Medical Genomics, Chulalongkorn University and Excellence Center in Medical Genomics and Precision Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Dr. Thantrira research team has worked towards the discovery of novel knowledge and expansion of high-quality research in multiomics in the era of Precision Medicine and Dentistry.

Dr. Thantira has published widely in the field of genomics and molecular biology with more than 40 international publications in top tier international journals including Nature Genetics, PNAS, Journal of Dental Research, and British Journal of Dermatology. She is currently an editor and reviewer of peer reviewed international journals, a current member of the Thailand’s Rare and Undiagnosed Disease Network, Genomics Thailand, and a Treasurer of the Thai Society of Human Genetics.
