Dr. Kasem Kulkeaw is a director of the Siriraj Integrative Center for Neglected Parasitic Diseases at the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University in Thailand. He has earlier served as a visiting scientist under "Exchange Program for East Asia Young Researchers" of the Japan Society for Promotion of Science at Kyushu University, Japan; an assistant professor in the Department of Research and Development of Next Generation Medicine, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, Japan (2014-2018; and assistant professor at the Department of Parasitology at Mahidol University, Thailand (2021-present). His research interest is in cell biology and molecular biology specializing in stem cell-based disease models, cell differentiation of pluripotent stem cells, and malaria biology. He has been conferred with various prestigious fellowships, notably, the Royal Golden Jubilee PhD program of Thailand Research Fund (2002-2008), the postdoctoral fellowship of Ajinomoto Scholarship Foundation (2009-2010), the postdoctoral fellowship of the Tokyo Biochemical Research Foundation (2010-2012), and the postdoctoral fellowship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (2012-2014). He has more than 10 years of research experience in cell biology, stem cell science, and animal ethics, and more than 3 years of teaching experience in stem cell biology and medical parasitology. Since 2008, he has also published more than 30 research articles and 5 review articles in peer-reviewed international journals.​
