PhD in Biology. University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.

MS in Biology. University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.

BS in Biology. Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.

My research interests lie in the area of evolutionary developmental biology and developmental genetics. In the Extavour lab, I will work collaboratively with colleagues from the Hejnol, Heisenberg, and Tomancak labs to examine the evolutionary history of intermediate filament proteins and their functions in embryonic development
