Nirin Seatamanoch
Nirin Seatamanoch, M.D., M.Sc., is a medical doctor and faculty member in the Department of Parasitology at the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University. Her work focuses on the molecular mechanisms of parasite–skin interactions, bridging the gap between clinical medicine and advanced host–pathogen research.

Educational Background
Dr. Seatamanoch earned her Doctor of Medicine (Second-Class Honors) from the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University. She furthered her specialization at the same institution, obtaining a Master of Science in Medicine (Dermatology) and completing a Fellowship in Dermatosurgery at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.

Research Contributions
Dr. Seatamanoch’s research portfolio spans clinical dermatology, molecular parasitology, and infectious diseases. Her work emphasizes the application of molecular tools to understand and manage skin-related conditions.

Publications and Impact
Dr. Seatamanoch has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed studies published in prestigious journals, including PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, and PLOS One. Her research integrates molecular diagnostics with clinical manifestations to better understand disease mechanisms, epidemiology, and modes of acquisition, ultimately improving treatment strategies for tropical and parasitic skin diseases.

Global Contributions
Dr. Seatamanoch contributes significantly to global medical education through her extensive work with the CU-MEDI international program. Having served as a core team member and facilitator, she designed and delivered English-language curricula specializing in the management of tropical illnesses and ectoparasite infestations. Beyond the classroom, her research into pediculosis and host-pathogen dynamics addresses critical public health challenges affecting millions worldwide.

Legacy
Through her dual role as a clinician and a faculty member, Dr. Seatamanoch is advancing the field of dermatology and parasitology in Thailand. Her commitment to evidence-based medicine and molecular research continues to influence the understanding of infectious skin diseases and host-parasite dynamics.
