Dr. Virayu Suthiphasilp holds a Ph.D. (2019) and B.Sc. (2016) in Applied Chemistry, focusing on Natural Products Chemistry, from Mae Fah Luang University, with an exchange period at the University of British Columbia. His research centers on isolating and characterizing bioactive secondary metabolites from tropical plants and endophytic/pathogenic fungi, targeting antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antiviral, and cytotoxic activities, alongside newer work in network pharmacology, metabolomics of Thai traditional medicines, and valorization of agricultural by-products such as cocoa pod husk waste. As of July 2026, he has authored 38 Web of Science-indexed publications (H-index 10 WoS, 11 Scopus/Google Scholar, 366 citations), most frequently in Phytochemistry, Natural Product Research, and Heliyon. He is an active peer reviewer, completing 72 reviews across 52 manuscripts for publishers including MDPI, Elsevier, Wiley-VHCA, Springer Nature, Cell Press, and the Royal Society of Chemistry. His honors include the Royal Golden Jubilee Ph.D. Scholarship, the Most Outstanding Dissertation Award from Mae Fah Luang University, and PIT's Outstanding Young Researcher Award (2024, 2025). Going forward, his research trajectory points toward deeper translational natural product chemistry, particularly network pharmacology of Thai herbal formulas and sustainable valorization of agricultural waste streams.
