Notă biografică
Adeline Su Yien Ting holds a PhD in plant
pathology from Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Her work highlighted the significant value of
endophytes as biocontrol agents to suppress
Fusarium wilt development in banana plants.
Upon graduation, she continued her research
on endophytes, diversifying into expounding
the potential of endophytes in many areas; for
metabolite production, biofungicide application,
bioremediation treatment, and biosynthesis
of metal-nanoparticles. She leads her
applied microbiology research team, and they
pursue this interest together. In recent years,
she has blended the omics technologies, physical approaches, and instrumentation
techniques, such as metagenomics, next-generation sequencing, electron
microscopy, Fourier-transformed infrared microscopy, into her research.
Adeline is now with Monash University Malaysia, and is the head of the
discipline (Biological Science). She has been awarded 12 external grants, published
over 50 journal articles, 10 invited book chapters, and more than 60
conference papers. She has hosted international interns from the RISE-DAAD
program and from SupBiotech Paris. The numerous awards conferred have
recognized her excellent research work. This includes the prestigious National
Outstanding Researcher Award (Biological Science) (2018), Gold Medal for the
International Invention, Innovation and Technology Exhibition (ITEX) (2018),
ProVice Chancellor Award (Research Excellence) for Postgraduate Research
Supervision (2019), and ProVice Chancellor Award (Research Excellence) for
Early Career Researcher (2013).
