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).
