Paba Edirisuriya, PhD

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

Paba Edirisuriya, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Scientist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA. She studies epithelial CFTR biology with an emphasis on exocrine pancreas and intestinal systems, employing iPSC differentiated and primary tissue derived organoid models, transwell monolayer cultures, and microfluidic co-cultures to probe ion/fluid transport, mucin dynamics, and epithelial–neuronal crosstalk. Dr. Edirisuriya integrates quantitative CFTR functional assays with transcriptomic and protein expression analysis to connect mechanism with therapeutic response. Her background spans nutrition and food science, Biochemistry, and microbiome/probiotic research, complemented by expertise in tissue isolation (intestinal crypts, pancreatic ducts, enteric neurons). She collaborates with clinical and core teams to build reproducible assays, accelerate precision strategies, and mechanism driven approaches for epithelial biology.
