Principal Investigator

Sitthivut (Nham) received his BSc in Chemistry from Mahidol University in 2010 with his final year research focusing on natural product chemistry. He then moved to the UK to pursue his PhD in medicinal chemistry at the University of Liverpool with Prof Paul O’Neill (https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/chemistry/research/medicinal-chemistry/). After completing his doctoral studies in 2014, he joined the antifilariasis AWOL drug discovery group at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (http://awol.lstmed.ac.uk). In 2017, he moved to Cambridge as a research associate working with Prof Chris Abell and Dr Anthony Coyne (https://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/group/abell/). His research experience has focused on the medicinal chemistry and pharmacology of anti-infective agents using both high-throughput screening and structure-based approaches against P. falciparum, Wolbachia spp, and M. abscessus. These works have contributed to the validation of novel targets and proof-of-concept for chemotherapy in both malaria and filariasis. He’s also involved the design and synthesis of activity-based probes for proteomic analysis to identify the protein targets of artemisinin. Since 2019. he is appointed as a lecturer at the Faculty of Science, Mahidol University.
