presented byProf. Dr. Harjanto PrabowoProf. Bahtiar S. Abbas, Ph.D.Bens Pardamean, Ph.D.

BINUS University

Vision: “A World-class university … in continuous pursuit of innovation and enterprise”

§ To be a World-class university, BINUS University must develop and grow from a teaching university to becoming a research university

§ Innovation can be achieved through research activities

Bioinformatics

§ the application of information technology (IT) to the field of biological sciences

§ the development and advancement of databases, computational and statistical methods, algorithms, and theory to solve practical problems arising from the management and analysis of biological sciences data

BINUS University Bioinformatics

§ Focus on the development and management of biomedical databases

§ Emphasis on computational and statistical analysis of biological sciences data

§ Concentrate on developing and applying computationally intensive techniques (e.g., data mining, statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms) through its leading edge and advancement in the IT world

Sources of Research Funding§ Government supports§ Private sectors§ Foundation research

§ National and international institutions§ Fund-raising§ Individuals/families

Graduate Students Involvement

§ Research opportunities§ Data and materials availability for thesis and

dissertation§ Research paper publications§ Overseas research collaborations§ Advance degree opportunities§ Free exchange of ideas among faculty and

students to foster discovery and innovation in science

Founding BINUS University Bioinformatics Research Center§ Enlist faculties who are interested in

bioinformatics research

§ Work in partnership with medical institutions such as hospitals and medical schools

§ Collaborate with biotech and pharmaceutical companies

§ Seek research funding and grants

International Collaborations

§ University of Southern CaliforniaSchool of Medicine ranks among the top 25 U.S. medical schools in total federal research funding

National Collaborations

§ RS Dharmais

Short Term Route Map:2010-2011§ Current database used for thesis and research result

§ Collaboration with State Hospital for Cancer Treatment, Dharmais Hospital

§ Collaboration with USC for research activities, faculty/students exchange, and program/degree development for Graduate Program in Applied Biostatistics

Mid Term Route Map:2012-2014§ Annual International Seminar/Workshop on

Bioinformatics, Medical and Artificial Intelligent

§ Awards and Grants achievements

§ International publications

§ Consolidated data warehouse from various sources in the country

§ Collaboration with other medical institutions around the country

Long Term Route Map:2015-2020§ Larger experiment using shared data gathered

§ A system that will ultimately resemble the integrated software packages for office tools installed on most home computers today, in which information can be traded seamlessly and cooperatively analyzed

§ Able to work together effectively to tackle unsolved mysteries, such as the role of heredity in individuals' different responses to medicines and the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in common diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes

§ Do analysis on the established data warehouse and presumably cross comparison with existing data and information in the other collaborating countries (USA, EUROPE, ASIA).
