Biography

Prof. Dr. Nopadon Pirarat

Director, VST and WEAP-CE of Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University

Prof. Dr. Nopadon Pirarat is a faculty member at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, where he serves as the Director of the VST International Graduate Program and the Director of WEAP-CE. He holds a D.V.M. from Chulalongkorn University and a Ph.D. in aquatic bioscience, and has completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology.

His research focuses on fish immunopathology, veterinary pathology, and nanotechnology in aquaculture health. Notably, he has developed nanovaccines utilizing chitosan polymers and lipid carriers to enhance disease resistance in fish, with a particular emphasis on mucoadhesive nanovaccines for improving immunity against Aeromonas veronii and Flavobacterium oreochromis. Additionally, Dr. Pirarat has explored the use of nanostructured lipid carriers to improve the delivery of herbal extracts, such as clove oil, in both aquaculture and veterinary treatments.

Dr. Pirarat is also actively involved in international collaborations, including the BactiVac network, which aims to advance vaccine development and immunology research in veterinary science.

His education, research contributions, and global collaborations demonstrate his commitment to advancing veterinary science and improving aquaculture health.
