Through an integrative approach, we bridge the blueprint of the genome with the complexity of phenotype, uncovering the mechanisms that connect molecules to cellular function and organismal outcomes.
Our work integrates molecular biology, cytogenetics, genomics, and advanced imaging to examine how biological macromolecules—particularly chromosomes and organelles—control cellular behavior. Special emphasis is placed on plant development and stress responses, animal and human cell physiology, cancer biology, immune regulation, programmed cell death (apoptosis), autophagy, and mitochondrial function.
Research Group Description
Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms in Biological System (CEMBIOS) is a research group dedicated to understanding the cellular, molecular, genetic, and genomic mechanisms underlying biological systems. Its research examines cells as the fundamental units of life, integrating structural, functional, genetic, and imaging approaches to investigate biological processes from the genome to the phenotype.
CEMBIOS conducts fundamental and experimental research in cellular and molecular biology, immunology, cell death and apoptosis, autophagy, mitochondrial biology, chromosome biology, genetic engineering, cell banking, and cellular and ultrastructural imaging. Particular attention is given to biological phenomena associated with Indonesia’s rich biodiversity and their potential contributions to biodiversity conservation and bioprospecting.
In addition to advancing scientific knowledge, CEMBIOS supports the development of researchers through graduate training, undergraduate education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and international research partnerships.
To become an internationally recognized research group that advances cellular, molecular, and genomic sciences through innovative research, high-quality education, and the sustainable exploration of Indonesia’s biodiversity.
