o Could you please introduce yourself
I am the Director of Regional Office, DNDi South-East Asia and joined DNDi as Head of the South-East Asia office, in April 2016 after more than 20 years in the medical non-for-profit sector

o Describe your experience with SICRES (and/or Siriraj CRC)
Our relationship with SICRES is recent but I feel there is a real alignment of values between the two organisations. I also enjoy their professionalism and expertise in clinical trials.

o What are major project outcomes of your projects e.g. social impact and impacts on patients?
The core focus of our organisation, DNDi is access to treatments for all patients, including those who are neglected. As a not-for-profit organisation, it is important and crucial for us that the treatments we put on the markets are affordable and accessible to everyone in need of treatment, especially neglected patients, so that no one gets left behind. We share that ambition with SICRES.

o Will you want to have more projects and work with SICRES in the future?
I hope we can develop a strategic partnership with SICRES over the years to come in medical research

o What make SICRES better than other clinical research institution?
(Why SICRES not the others?)
It is a non for profit value driven organization with in depth expertise and professionalism on medical research

o Why do you trust SICRES? Why do you choose to work with SICRES?
It is a non for profit value driven organization with in depth expertise and professionalism on medical research

o Please describe how SICRES can help you reach your expected outcome? (Impressive work of SICRES)
SICRES has an impressive track record in clinical trials and with their new ambitions and leadership, I see they can offer the same services as a CRO but in a non for profit environment and this is exactly what is needed currently in Thailand. Thailand as a higher middle-income country can become a world leading actor of medical R&D. This is part of DNDi mandate to encourage such development. SICRES is exactly the type of organization that Thailand need to build on that potential.

o Please describe SICRES in your view
It is a not-for-profit value driven organization with in-depth expertise and professionalism on medical research. They offer cost effective clinical research at international standards and offers full-service clinical trial design and management. At the same time, they also offer modern facilities that meets international standards requirements for the purpose of clinical research/trials
