Cholawat Pacharinsak, DVM, PhD
Professor of Comparative Medicine
BioCholawat Pacharinsak, DVM, PhD Professor and Director of Anesthesia, Pain Management, and Surgery, at Stanford University’s Department of Comparative Medicine; he is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia (DACVAA). He received his DVM from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand and trained in an Anesthesiology/Pain Management residency program and received his Master's degree at Washington State University. He completed his PhD in Comparative and Molecular Biosciences from the University of Minnesota. Prior to arriving at Stanford, Dr. Pacharinsak was a faculty member in Anesthesiology and Pain Management at Michigan State University and Purdue University; and served as a Clinical Specialist at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. His research focuses on understanding the neurobiology of cancer pain, chemotherapeutic-induced peripheral neuropathy, acute surgical pain models, and methods to improve clinical pain management e.g. sustained release analgesics supporting refinement. Research methodology includes electrophysiologic and behavioral techniques.

Levi D. Palmer
Affiliate, Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials
BioLevi Palmer is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford beginning August 2026. As an Arnold O. Beckman Fellow and a Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM) Fellow, he is working with Professors Kate Reidy, Colin Ophus, and Stacey Bent to develop in situ microscopy methods to image materials growth, performance, and failure at atomic scales.
Prior to his time at Stanford, Levi was an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Caltech. He completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry under Professor Scott Cushing to image carrier and heat dynamics in photocatalysts by developing ultrafast electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) methods. During his Ph.D., he also received a DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Fellowship to work at Argonne National Laboratory with Dr. Thomas Gage. He earned his B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities and studied under Professor Renee Frontiera. -
Theo Palmer
Professor of Neurosurgery, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMembers of the Palmer Lab study the biology of neural stem cells in brain development and in the adult. Our primary goal is to understand how genes and environment synergize in influencing stem cell behavior during development and how mild genetic or environmental risk factors for disease may synergize in their detrimental effects on brain development or in the risk of neuronal loss in age-related degenerative disease.
