About

Wajee Jaikaew is a researcher at the forefront of analytical electrochemistry and pharmaceutical materials science, with a focus on developing automated, high-throughput methods for drug release testing. Her work centers on the innovative application of robotic microplate voltammetry to characterize the release kinetics of active pharmaceutical ingredients from advanced polymer-based delivery systems. Her most-cited study (2018, 15 citations) established a robotic platform for real-time, non-destructive monitoring of hydrogel drug release, offering a significant improvement over conventional manual sampling techniques. In a subsequent key contribution (2020, 7 citations), she extended this methodology to systematically investigate paracetamol release from chitosan and pH-sensitive synthetic polymer thin films and gel pellets, using automated square-wave voltammetry in 24-well microplates. This work provided critical insights into how polymer blending and pH affect drug release profiles. By replacing labor-intensive, low-throughput assays with programmable electroanalysis, Jaikaew’s research has paved the way for more efficient screening of drug delivery formulations, directly impacting the development of controlled-release pharmaceuticals and biomedical hydrogels.
