Dr. Tun Naw Sut is a nanomedicine and chemical engineering researcher whose work integrates biomimetic membrane science, lipid nanoarchitectonics, and advanced biointerface engineering to address challenges in diagnostics, biosensing, and therapeutic design. His research focuses on constructing lipid-based biomimetic membrane platforms, investigating lipid self-assembly mechanisms, and elucidating how lipid–protein and lipid–nanomaterial interactions influence membrane structure, stability, and function. He has made notable contributions to understanding antimicrobial lipid mixtures, multivalency-driven membrane deformation, cholesterol-dependent membrane behavior, and the mechanobiology of extracellular vesicle mimetics. His extensive publication record spans high-impact journals in nanotechnology, materials science, and biointerfaces, demonstrating expertise in supported lipid bilayers, bicelle-mediated membrane fabrication, plasmonic biosensing platforms, antiviral lipid systems, and membrane-disruptive nanostructures. Professionally, he has engaged in interdisciplinary research environments advancing membrane technologies for biosensing, virus detection, antimicrobial strategies, and therapeutic delivery. He has also contributed to scientific leadership as a guest editor and topic editor in reputable journals, supporting the dissemination of emerging work in biomimicry, functional materials, and membrane science. His research portfolio reflects robust experience in experimental design, membrane characterization, microfluidic lipid nanoparticle development, and the translation of lipid-based systems toward diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
