The Workshop on Developing Proteomic Analysis Competence for the Development of Peptide-Based Anti-Cancer and Anti-Bacterial Agents took place at The Research Center for Biotechnology Universitas Gadjah Mada, from October 31 to November 2, 2022. The event featured several speakers, including:

1. Prof. Manjunatha Kini (Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore)
2. Respati Tri Swasono, S.Si., M.Phil., Ph.D. (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, UGM)
3. Tri Joko Raharjo, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D. (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, UGM)
4. Muhammad Saifur Rohman, S.P., M.Si., M.Eng., Ph.D. (Faculty of Agriculture, UGM)
5. Eka Sunarwidhi Prasedya, S.Si., M.Sc., Ph.D. (Universitas Negeri Mataram)

The background for organizing this workshop lies in the persistent global health issue of cancer, which remains a leading cause of high mortality rates and ranks as the second most common cause of death worldwide. Conventional cancer treatment methods, including chemotherapy and surgery, have not yielded optimal results due to the significant side effects that impact the quality of life for patients. These side effects are often associated with the lack of specificity in chemotherapy drugs, which also damage normal cells. read more

The 8th National Biotechnology Seminar is an annual event organized by the Master’s Program in Biotechnology in collaboration with The Research Center for Biotechnology Universitas Gadjah Mada. This seminar takes place each year and is divided into four areas: agriculture, health, industry, and environment. In 2022, the 8th Biotechnology Seminar was able to be held in person due to the subsiding COVID-19 pandemic, with strict adherence to health protocols.

The theme of the 8th National Biotechnology Seminar was “Biotechnology for Climate Change and Global Warming Mitigation.” This theme was chosen in response to the wide-ranging implications of climate change on food security, health, safety, and the need for adaptation to a changing climate. Various strategies, utilizing biotechnological approaches, can be applied to address climate change. Thus, in line with the implementation of the 13th SDG. read more
