معرفی
Su Su Thae Hnit is a Research and Teaching Fellow in Bioanalysis at the School of Natural Sciences, Macquarie University, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. She holds a Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) from Western Sydney University (2013) and a PhD in Biological Science (2018). Her research focuses on identifying plant-derived chemical components to impede cancer cell proliferation, with a particular emphasis on developing innovative technologies like Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) for rapid protein target detection and proteomics tools via the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility (APAF). She collaborates with Prof. Yuling Wang’s team and Prof. Qihan Dong’s Cancer Biology Group at the University of Sydney.
- Education: BMedSci (Hons) 2013, PhD in Biological Science 2018 (Western Sydney University)
- Postdoctoral Research: Cancer Biology Group, University of Sydney (2018–2022)
Her research interests include cell cycle regulation, herbal medicine anticancer mechanisms, and diagnostic technology development. Key projects involve detecting protein interactions with chemicals using SERS and identifying intracellular protein locations in cancer cells. Teaching roles include Unit Convenor for Analysis and Measurement and Biomolecules, and involvement in Advanced Analysis and Measurement.
Publications span plant-derived compounds (e.g., Agrimol B, Apigenin) targeting cancer cell cycles, SERS-based biosensors, and molecular mechanisms like p27Kip1 signaling. Collaborations emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to cancer biology and translational research.
Advising and grants: Currently leading three projects on plant medicine, SERS detection, and cancer cell cycle re-entry. No student advisees listed.
Labs/Teams: Collaborations with Prof. Wang’s group (SERS technology) and APAF (proteomics).
