Associate Professor Kansuda Wunjuntuk, PhD, RD, is a Thai nutrition scientist and registered dietitian at Kasetsart University, Faculty of Agriculture, where she holds the position of Program Director for the Bachelor of Science in Food, Nutrition & Dietetics. She obtained her PhD in Nutrition (Experimental Nutrition & Biochemistry) from Mahidol University, Thailand. Her work integrates functional foods, experimental nutrition, and safety evaluation. Dr. Wunjuntuk’s research group examines antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut microbiome–short-chain fatty acid interactions, and food-based chemoprevention, particularly focusing on defatted rice bran in colitis-associated colorectal cancer models and quinoa-derived protein concentrates for high-value nutritional applications. Simultaneously with effectiveness studies, she incorporates sub-chronic toxicity assessments in rodent models to evaluate supplements, botanical extracts, and novel meals, utilizing clinical chemistry, histopathology, and molecular biomarkers to elucidate risk–benefit profiles. She additionally participates in research governance by serving on committees for human research ethics and animal care oversight.
She is a distinguished educator, instructing courses in Food Toxicology (Master’s), Nutrition for Anti-aging and Age-related Disease Prevention (Master’s), and Advanced Nutrition for Disease Prevention and Well-being (Doctoral). At the undergraduate level, she instructs Medical Nutrition Therapy, Food, Environment, and Health, and Pharmacology for dietitians, while also mentoring students in laboratory and thesis projects. Dr. Wunjuntuk has written in worldwide Q1/Q2 journals, acts as a reviewer and invited speaker, and has garnered accolades such as the Ajinomoto Young Researcher Award (2024) in Nutrition and the Mahidol University Outstanding Alumni Award (2023). Her primary objective is to mitigate risks associated with innovation in functional nutrition by promoting food-based solutions that are efficacious, safe, and prepared for practical application.
