Scientific background & experience
Tin Tin Su is a professor at Monash University Malaysia and Director of the Regional Hub for Asia Climate Change and Health, REACH. A public-health physician, she works on community capacity, social epidemiology and implementation research. REACH supports regionally led climate-health research, community adaptation and stronger health systems across South and Southeast Asia through an institutional consortium. 1, 2
Su directed the South East Asia Community Observatory from September 2019 to March 2026. She established CHIMES, linking environmental and wearable measurements with health research in the SEACO population, and contributed to the initiative to incorporate CHEERS into routine health and demographic surveillance. She is Principal Investigator of Heat Care at SEACO, which evaluates heat-literacy activities and building-level cooling approaches in semi-rural Malaysia. 1, 4
Her qualifications include medicine at the University of Medicine 1, followed by master’s training in community health and management and doctoral training in public health and health economics at Heidelberg. Health literacy is a sustained part of her work: she has helped integrate it into community studies and climate-health interventions and served as a technical adviser to Malaysia’s 2023 Health Literacy Survey. 1
