From brain specimens to pain neuroimaging: A conversation with Dr. Patcharaporn Srisaikaew

Seeds of Science Podcast. Season 2, episode 5. Featuring Patcharaporn Srisaikaew, Postdoctoral Researcher

Meet Dr. Patcharaporn Srisaikaew: I have a Ph.D. in Anatomy, with expertise in fresh human cadaveric dissection and am passionate about studying and understanding the mechanistic link between limbic structures alteration and cognitive functioning in neurodegenerative disorders (ageing process and pain) using multimodal neuroimaging techniques.

I am a mom of 2 (big, I mean huge) cats and a coffee lover. I like playing games and reading (non-research/scientific) books in my free time and I really enjoy eating!
