Regarding this, the Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University is an institution striving for academic and research excellence. There are 10 academic departments that operate in the laboratories for teaching, research, and professional services. Therefore, the laboratory operation and practice also need safety standards and management in accordance with the policies of the National Research Council of Thailand. The Faculty of Pharmacy has concerned about this matter; hence, we are encouraging our faculty’s laboratories to receive an ESPReL Standard examination from Mahidol University’s COSHEM.
