Researcher

Rehka T. obtained her bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering from Nanyang Technological University in July 2016. From Mar 2017 to Aug 2018, she worked at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) as a Laboratory Technologist in the Infectious Diseases department where she focused extensively on the proteomics of bacterial infection. She then joined A*STAR and was with the Biotransformation Innovation Platform (BIP) before moving to the Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology Innovation (SIFBI). Her focus has been mainly on enzyme engineering of terpene synthases for the production of valuable terpenoids. Last year, she represented SIFBI and was one of three participants to win the best poster award at Bioflavour 2022, an event organised by Dechema and held in Frankfurt, Germany. She has published six papers in journals such as Nature Communications and ACS publications.
