Varodom Charoensawan
Ph.D. (University of Cambridge)Varodom Charoensawan
Varodom got his B.Eng. in Biochemical Engineering (Process Biotechnology) from University College London (UCL). He then went to Cambridge to pursue his long-term interest in utilising mathematical methods and modelling to analyse biological systems, and switched to Computational Biology (M.Phil.). He stayed on in Cambridge to read his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology at MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr. Sarah Teichmann.
Varodom started worked working as a lecturer at Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University in 2011, before taking a leave to work as a research associate with Dr. Philip Wigge at Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University from 2012-2015. In 2023, Varodom and VC lab relocated to the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital.
