The welcoming took place at the Social, Economic, and Administrative Pharmacy (SEAP) Division, Department of Pharmacy, where she will undertake research work as part of her doctoral studies.

Ms. Marselin’s research visit is hosted under the supervision of Dr. Saowalak Turongkaravee at the SEAP Division during August 4, 2025, and will conclude on November 4, 2025, with the aim of advancing her doctoral research through active academic collaboration, access to the faculty’s research infrastructure, and close mentorship from experts in her field. This program represents a vital opportunity for cross-institutional learning and international academic integration.

The visiting program is expected to strengthen research capacity, foster intercultural academic exchange, and build long-term academic networks between Mahidol University and the Institute of Technology Bandung. These collaborations are essential in cultivating future scholars and researchers with a global outlook. This initiative also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4: Quality Education—by supporting inclusive and equitable academic opportunities—and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals, through the promotion of international academic collaboration and institutional partnerships.
