The Institute for Biosystem and Bioengineering is a hub of education and research centers in bioengineering and interdisciplinary research. Our research centers include the Research Center for Biomedical Engineering (RCBE), the Research Center for Biomass Valorization (RCBV), the Biofuels Advanced Laboratory (BAL) integrated with Pertamina-Biofuel Laboratory, and the Biological Systems Engineering Lab (BSEL). We are dedicated to providing interdisciplinary research, education, and services aimed at response to the challenges related to food production, infectious diseases, pollution, and environmental problems in our societies
BAL is an innovative laboratory specifically intended to facilitate study on a diverse array of biological topics. Currently, Pertamina-Biofuel Laboratory is integrated inside BAL to facilitate research and development in the domain of biorefinery. The laboratory is partitioned into four distinct sub-laboratories: Molecular and Basic Genomics Sub-Laboratory, Pretreatment Sub-Laboratory, Hydrolysis and Detoxification Sub-Laboratory, and Fermentation and Separation Sub-Laboratory.
The Biological Systems Engineering Lab (BSEL) is a research laboratory dedicated to the modeling of biological system interactions. It is equipped with advanced hardware, including servers, workstations, and state-of-the-art biomedical equipment, as well as continuously updated software. This facility supports research in biological system modeling, bioinformatics, and genetic engineering. Researchers at BSEL are engaged in efforts to discover treatments for various emerging diseases and to enhance the efficiency of biocatalysts for green synthesis applications.
