Halal Analysis
The Workshop of Halal Analysis on Food Ingredients is part of the International Biotechnology Conference (IBC) 2024, held in Malang on September 13, 2024. This workshop introduces the practical use of an all-in-one series of instruments for DNA isolation, PCR, and agarose gel electrophoresis for practical purposes, one of which is for analyzing the halal status of food ingredients. More specifically, the focus of halal analysis in this workshop is on detecting meat contamination in processed food samples such as meatballs. This also supports the realization of the government’s program for food certification policy, which is planned to be achieved by the end of 2024. Supported by advanced technology and the all-in-one Bento Lab, a portable PCR workstation, this workshop offers breakthrough analysis that is rapid and accurate to support efforts for halal product assurance.
The Workshop participants consisted of mentors and 30 Trainees. The trainees could be students or young scientists from many parts of Indonesia.
Place: Genetics Engineering Laboratory, B25 Building, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, State University of Malang
Day and date: 13th September 2024, 08.00 GMT+7 to end
Bioinformatics Biomarker Analysis and Drug Discovery*
The Workshop of Bioinformatics Biomarker Analysis and Drug Discovery is part of the International Biotechnology Conference (IBC) 2024, which will be held in Malang on September 11-13, 2024. The main purpose of this workshop is to provide a good overview of biomarkers and biomarker studies. This workshop will explore recent research, showcasing diverse biomarker applications within clinical trials. Methods employed to identify biomarkers through various omics datasets will be reviewed. Participants will engage in discussion on biomarker studies and data analysis exercises that encompass approaches like machine learning methods and other integrative omics strategies used in biomarker discovery. This workshop also introduces drug discovery from natural products and tested by the in silico method
The Workshop participants consisted of mentors and 60 Trainees. The trainees could be students or young scientists from many parts of Indonesia.
Place: Seminar Room A19 3rd floor, State University of Malang

The evaluation of modified genome of soybeans using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method
Soybean GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is a soybean plant whose genome is modified genetically. Nowadays, soybeans are common in the market.
In this workshop, participants will learn how to analyze whether the soybean samples are GMO or not, using the polymerase chain reaction method.
There are four activities planned for this training: 1] theoretical explanation; 2] DNA extraction; 3] polymerase chain reaction (PCR); 4] analyses of PCR products.
The workshop will be held using lecturing methods and interactive discussions, followed by practical activities including DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction, and analysis of product PCR.
The Workshop participants consisted of mentors and 30 Trainees. The trainees could be students or young scientists from many parts of Indonesia.
Place: Purification and Molecular Biology Laboratory; BA Building 3rd floor Faculty of Biotechnology, University of Surabaya
Day and date: 14th September 2024, 13.00 GMT+7 to end
Plant Tissue Culture Research Tools
Plant tissue culture is a crucial method of cultivation. This method could serve as a preparatory platform for subsequent explorations. Several fields could gain from plant tissue culture techniques, including molecular biology, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, cell engineering, and systems biology. Moreover, tissue culture techniques have applications in agricultural advancement, facilitating the large-scale production of desired clones.
This workshop introduces fundamental plant tissue culture techniques focusing on hands-on proficiency. The training comprises four main activities: theoretical elucidation, medium preparation, sterilization of equipment and explants, and explant inoculation.
The instructional approach involves lectures and interactive discussions, followed by practical sessions covering media preparation, sterilization procedures, and explant inoculation.
The workshop participants consisted of Mentors and 40 Trainees. The trainees could be students or young scientists from many parts of Indonesia.
