Research

The project is a collaboration study with Prof. Alex Mc Lellan from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Otago University, New Zealand. I have gotten a small grant from DIPI to start the project in the Department of Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine,  Universitas Indonesia. My supervisor from UI is dr. Rina la Distia Nora, Sp.M(K)., PhD & Fithriyah, PhD. We will look for the potential role of CAR-NK in TB infections. (ongoing)

The Collaborative Research Between Universitas Indonesia and Curtin University on Cytomegalovirus co-infection in HIV patients. We have discovered the role of several immune cells linked with clinical outcomes. 

The CMV research has been done in HIV patients starting ART, followed by 5 years in the JakCCANDO Study. 

I am co-supervisor of Clara Imaniar (master Student of Biomedical Science). The main supervisor is Prof Yeva Rosana (Dept. Microbiology FMUI). Our main goal is to develop a molecular method to identify live M. lepra from clinical samples. (ongoing)

I am participating in the COINCIDE Project. Working under Prof. Anis Karuniawati Project, I am collaborating with Soe You Naing - Utrecht University. The project involving microbiology specialist student dr.Lili. (ongoing)

I am working with a Master's student in biomedical science at the Faculty of Medicine (Raisha Muhayya), Universitas Indonesia. Her work is to develop recombinant SARS-CoV-2 vaccine construction. The vaccine design used a bioinformatic approach to predict the optimal epitope for T-cell response. (end)

Work with a private company to validate qPCR kits (end)
