Research Experience

My research on aquaculture focused on the implementation of red seaweed prebiotic feed to increase the growth and disease resistance of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). I used variations of seaweed prebiotic as feed supplement for the shrimp, which was then subjected to a challenge test with pathogenic Vibrio harveyi.. I analysed the growth parameters of the shrimp, as well as the expression of several immune-related genes expression from the shrimps using quantitative PCR to understood the mode of action of the seaweed prebiotics. Using the overall data, I determined the best variation of seaweed supplements.

Besides my focus, I also gain many experiences by actively contributing as a research assistant in some researches conducted by Microbial Biotechnology Research Group in Aquaculture and Aquatic Ecology lab, such as development of polyurethane biofilter and identification of pathogenic Vibrio species.

Skills

Microbiology Testing and Analysis (Isolation, Cultivation, Identification, Enumeration, Good Laboratory Practices), Aquaculture Technology, Molecular microbiology (DNA/RNA Extraction, PCR, Gel-Electrophoresis, gene cloning, quantitative PCR), bioprocess and fermentation, statistical analysis, and basic bioinformatics software.

Testimonial

I have obtained many valuable knowledges and skills during my study in Biotechnology Master’s Program.  The highlight of my study is being able to do my study under the supervision of incredible professors and lecturers. I am able to grow further as a scientist with the help and care of many people here. I also improve my soft skills, such as leaderships, communication, and problem- solving with several projects that I have done.
