Su Su Thae Hnit completed Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) in 2013 and Doctor of Philosophy (Science) in 2018 at the School of Science and Health, Western Sydney University, Sydney, Australia. After graduation, Su Su Thae Hnit was offered a Post Doctoral position to join Cancer Biology Group led by Professor Qihan Dong, Greg Brown Laboratory, Central Clinical School and Charles Perkins Centre, The University of Sydney. In 2022, Su Su Thae Hnit was appointed as Research and Teaching Fellow in School of Natural Science, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Macquarie University.

Su Su’s research interest is identifying the plant medicine and their chemical components with the ability of impeding cancer cell proliferation for treatment and prevention of cancer. Su Su will be working on developing the innovative technology to detect the protein targets of chemicals in a rapid and sensitive manner by Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) in collaboration with Professor Yuling Wang's team and identifying the intracellular location of proteins interacting with chemicals in various types of cancer cells by using proteomics tools via Australian Proteome Analysis Facility (APAF).

Su Su is the Unit Convenor of Analysis and Measurement and Biomolecules. She is also involved in teaching of Advanced Analysis and Measurement.
