Look no further! ACBI is thrilled to announce its exciting event in Chiang Mai!

What is Chemical Biology? 

It's the perfect blend of chemistry and biology, a field that unlocks the secrets of life at the molecular level with chemical eyes. Discover how we shape the future through groundbreaking research!

Studying Chemical Biology in Asia can open doors to limitless career opportunities. Become a well-trained researcher in an international setting and watch your dreams take flight!

Meet the Professors!

Our renowned professors from ACBI countries are heading to Chiang Mai this February (see: Meet Expert ACBI Professors). Get ready for an exclusive chance to listen to chemical biology lectures and meet the professors in person!

Tutorial Lectures

  • Learn what chemical biology has to offer to boost your international career

  • Expose yourself to different facets and applications of the interdisciplinary field of chemical biology

One-on-One Interviews

  • Unveil your potential and show your passion for studying abroad

  • Discuss graduate opportunities in the field of chemical biology and beyond in Asia!

 

Complimentary Lunch and Coffee Break

  • Experience the delight of sharing a meal with ACBI professors while savoring Thai cuisine and confectionaries

If you're excited as we are, here's your chance to shine! Complete your ONLINE APPLICATION by December 21st, 2025, and you could be one of the lucky shortlisted students!

We'll be individually notifying the successful shortlisted students by late December 2025 with all the details they need.

Apply online now, and let your passion for studying Chemical Biology abroad shine. Please note that this fantastic opportunity is exclusively open to students and early career researchers from Thailand. 

 

Ph.D. holders and students from outside of Thailand are not eligible to apply.

Join us in this exciting journey of discovery, growth, and friendship. We can't wait to meet you in Chiang Mai!

Student Voice from Istanbul

"I am more interested in studying in Asia than before. I wouldn't know the opportunities being that extensive, and the professors are open to introducing their work. Chemical biology is one of the top research disciplines I am considering furthering my Ph.D."

Student Voice from Kuala Lumpur

"I was initially unsure if chemical biology is the right field of research for me should I pursue further education. Through this event, I was able to understand the respective research that some of the professors were currently doing and got an insight of how they could narrow their research from a diverse field such as chemical biology. Through all the interviews, I had learned so much from them and hope to use it to potentially find the right research topic when I continue my studies"

Meet Expert ACBI Professors

Meet our distinguished ACBI professors hailing from Japan, Korea, China, India, and special guests from Israel, all set to grace Chiang Mai with their presence and engage with you in person! Explore their respective websites and select 10 professors whom you're most eager to connect with at the event.

Please be aware that, owing to time limitations, only a limited number of students will be invited to this in-person event, and we may not be able to guarantee one-on-one meetings with all the professors you select in your application form.
