Prang was born in Mukdahan, which is a small town in the Northeast of Thailand. She received her Bachelor’s degree (Chemistry) from Khon Kaen University, Thailand in 2016. After that, she is continuing to study for a Ph.D. program at the same university with a full scholarship supported by the Royal Golden Jubilee (RGJ) Ph.D. Program (19th). Her research focuses on coordination chemistry for DNA interaction studies, cell death mechanisms, and biological properties. She has been developing new copper (II) complexes with N– and O-ligands for cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines and bacteria.

Prang enjoys learning about new things. She loves reading romantic fiction as well as short stories for fun. In addition, she also enjoys eating desserts and wants to try every dessert in the world.
