Supansa received the Royal Thai Government scholarship in 2006 to continue her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University, New York. Before getting the scholarship, she was a research assistant at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering, Thailand. While working with Dr. Vunjak-Novakovic, she developed interest in oxygen tension influencing on cartilage tissue engineering and the application of hypoxia to enhance the differentiation of embryonic stem cells. She also worked in the NIH-funded Tissue Engineering Resource Center (TERC) to evaluate silk-based scaffold for use as cartilage grafts. Supansa joined Hospital for Special Surgery in 2013 as a post-doctoral fellow. Together with Dr. Maher and Dr. Warren, she is exploring ways to enhance integration at the scaffold-cartilage interface. Her research interests include biomaterial design, the use of scaffold-seeded stem cells, and the effects of physical loads on interface mechanics. 

     After finishing postdoc fellow, she returns to Thailand and works at Chulalongkorn University. "Chulalongkorn Medical School is a primary source of national physicians. I want to build up an understanding about regenerative medicine in order to train medical students, so that they have the ability to translate medical research to practical treatments."
