Interest : Animal cell and tissue engineering, scaffold fabrication, plant tissue culture

Research Experience
My research focuses on the fabrication of scaffolds made from human amniotic membrane (hAM), which are subsequently seeded with Human Dermal Fibroblast (HDF) cells as an alternative to accelerate wound healing. The scaffolds in my study were developed by incorporating various concentrations of spidroin and fibroin bioinks to create scaffolds that effectively support HDF cell growth. Based on this research, it was found that the hAM scaffold coated with 50 mg/mL of spidroin was the most effective, showing the best results in supporting HDF cell growth and demonstrating potential for further development in skin tissue engineering compared to other scaffolds in this study. 

Skills
Animal cell culture, primary cell culture, fabrication of human amniotic membrane (hAM) scaffold, extraction of spider web (spidroin), degumming & extraction of silkworm cocoon (fibroin), immunocytochemistry (using confocal microscope).  

Testimonial
The Master of Biotechnology program at SITH-ITB provided me with an enriching and comprehensive learning experience. The curriculum not only strengthened my foundation in biotechnology but also honed my practical skills through hands-on laboratory work and exposure to current issues in the field. The supportive learning environment encouraged me to develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities essential for real-world applications. The lecturers and staff were not only experts in their fields but also approachable and encouraging throughout my journey. I am grateful for the invaluable knowledge and experiences I gained during my time at ITB, and I am confident that this program has prepared me to make meaningful contributions to the advancement of biotechnology in the future.
