Academic Position: Assistance Professor
Assist.Prof.Dr.Jarupa Soongsathitanon
Research Profile
My research interests focus on translational immunology and the immune mechanisms underlying chronic inflammatory and age-related diseases. Research experience includes diabetes immunology, immune dysregulation, and immunosenescence. Current research investigates functional and phenotypic alterations in immune cell populations, including T cell subsets, neutrophils, and other immune mediators involved in autoimmune and age-related conditions. By integrating cellular immunology, molecular approaches, and clinical research, my work aims to advance understanding of immune mechanisms underlying chronic disease and age-related immune changes.
