The In2Bio3 Vision & Mission

Our strategic vision is to become locally impactful and internationally respected hubs in Biosciences, Biotechnology, and Bioeconomy (Bio3), contributing to public health improvement as well as promoting sustainable economy and environmental sustainability. Towards achieving the vision, we set our mission:

1. The BioInnovation Research Institute: To conduct innovative research in Biosciences, Biotechnology, and Bioeconomy (Bio3) and translate research findings or results into practical solutions for improving public health, environment and socio-economy of the society.

2. The BioInnovation Educational Center: (i) To contribute to enhancing the quality of education and research in Indonesia by providing mentorship, guidance, and innovative learning environments for students and young generation; and (ii) To establish and operate an inclusive educational and research institute as a center of excellence in biosciences, biotechnology, and bioeconomy.

3. The BioInnovation Community Services: To apply Bio3 knowledge in community services and development, such as environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, genetic-based diagnosis of diseases and pathogens, disaster mitigation education, and food-water quality testing.

In2Bio3 Approaches in Research, Education, and Community Services

In Biosciences and Biotechnology, we investigate biodiversity and ecological processes in unique ecosystems. We conduct interdisciplinary research to explore the potential of marine and terrestrial bioresources for generating various valuable bioproducts (e.g. pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and biopesticides), and subsequently develop innovative approaches for applications that support health, food security, and environmental resilience. In Bioeconomy, we promote and support sustainable economic opportunities of the society, such as sustainable fisheries, ecotourism, aquaculture, and bioproduct innovation, which balance high productivity and climate change mitigation. We integrate local wisdom with scientific research and policy advocacy to contribute to community engagement & development, and biodiversity conservation.

Free Chlorine put selective pressure on Norovirus

Human noroviruses are excreted in feces from infected individuals and included in wastewater. It is critical to remove/inactivate them in wastewater treatment processes, particularly in the disinfection step, before release to aquatic environments. However, the high mutation rates of human noroviruses raise concerns about the emergence of strains that are less susceptible to disinfectants and can survive even after wastewater treatment.
