A Chulalongkorn University veterinary science student has won a world-class award for her work on “Rose Kefir,” a health drink rich in vital substances that help boost immunity and fight free radicals, which are factors that cause cancer. Plans are now underway to patent and develop it for commercial production. 

“Whooping Cough” is a bacterial respiratory tract infection that causes severe, persistent coughing, with particularly severe symptoms in young children under 6 months old.
