Dr. Jiranuwat (Bas) Sapudom is a research scientist passionate about understanding how the physical, biochemical, and molecular landscapes of tissues shape cell behavior. His work spans biochemistry, tissue engineering, matrix biology, mechanobiology, multi-omics, and space biology, blending advanced science with translational goals. He earned his Ph.D. with highest distinction (summa cum laude) from Leipzig University, Germany.Currently based at the Laboratory for Immuno Bioengineering Research and Applications (LIBRA) at New York University Abu Dhabi, Dr. Sapudom focuses on how tissue mechanics and structure guide immune cell behavior and how this regulation shapes complex biological processes such as cancer progression, wound healing, fibrosis, and tissue scarring. To explore these questions, Dr. Sapudom combines biomimetic 3D tissue models, image-based single-cell analysis, and multi-omics profiling (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics) with mechanical characterization techniques. His research takes a systems-level approach, linking cell biology, tissue mechanics, and molecular regulation to uncover the key principles that control immune-driven tissue remodeling. The ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to engineer targeted, cell-instructive environments that can guide immune responses in a predictable way—opening new possibilities for next-generation immunotherapies, regenerative medicine, and anti-fibrotic treatments.
