BINUS BDSRC

We proudly announce that our research partner, Genetics Indonesia (GI), has recently soft-launched their brand new service called DNAku on Thursday, August 15th, 2019. Officially, it will be available for public on the August 17th, 2019, which coincides with the 74th Indonesia Independence Day. DNAku is the first Direct-to-Customer (DTC) Genetics Testing in Indonesia. It is focused more on genetics screening for wellness rather than for disease risk. There are four modules offered in DNAku: (1) Health, (2) Nutrition, (3) Sport, and (4) Skin. One more module for Ancestry estimation will be offered soon. They use Illumina genotyping technology with Asian Screening Array which designed specifically for Asian population.
For the last six month, we have been involved in this launching campaign by providing them continuous support for their backend development. Apart from this technical collaboration, we are also very happy to initiate joint research with GI to study the genetic risk factor for Breast Cancer cases in the Indonesian population. We also commit to working together with GI to build an AI-ready database, so it will give more insightful recommendation for the users. Hopefully, in the future, it would become the national genetics data source for Indonesia which can be utilized for research purposes. To carry out our upcoming bioinformatics research, such as multi-sites colorectal cancer genetics research, genetics-based personalized coffee, snakehead fish genetics association study, and coffee genetics association study, we will rely on the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology possessed by GI as our main biomolecular lab partner.

Nodeflux, a vision AI company based in Jakarta is now a trending topic in many AI discussion forum. This fast-growing start-up has been working with many big companies such as Gojek, and government institutions such as POLRI and BIN.

On August 5th 2019, Nodeflux and Binus formally celebrate our collaboration. We hold a memorandum of understanding-signing event at Bina Nusantara University Kampus Anggrek.

The MoU was signed by Prof. Tirta Nugraha Mursitama, S.Sos., M.M., Ph.D. - Vice Rector Research & Technology Transfer, Bens Pardamean, B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D - Head of Bioinformatics and Data Science of Research Center BINUS University, and Meidy Fitranto, CEO of Nodeflux.

Although formal events are only held now, we have done a lot of collaborative research before.

On Wednesday, June 19, 2019, Pusat Sains Kopi Nusantara (PSKN) was officially launched at the auditorium of INSTIPER Yogyakarta. In the launching event, a Forum Group Discussion (FGD) was held with the theme sustainable business system for coffee industry. Our director, Dr. Bens Pardamean, was one of the panelist speaker in this event. Dr. Bens explained the future of coffee research and its relation to industry 4.0. We also showcased our coffee-related research: genetic-based coffee tolerance information system (in collaboration with Genetics Indonesia), AI for coffee leaf disease detection (in collaboration with Nodeflux), and coffee plantation geographical information system.

We had a very exciting discussion last thursday with Genetics Indonesia on our potential collaboration efforts. Firtsly, as part of Institut Sains Kopi Indonesia (ISKI), we are working on developing a personlised coffee recommendation system based on our own genetics characteristic. It will bring the whole new experience for coffee lovers in enjoying their favourite beverage. The second one is a research on discovering genetics risk factors for breast cancer case in Indonesia population. We will implement our success story in colorectal cancer research in this upcoming effort. Keep in touch with us the keep updated.
