Donna Maretta Ariestanti is a lecturer at the Faculty of Pharmacy in Universitas Indonesia. She completed her Bachelor of Pharmacy in 2007 and the apothecary professional program in 2008 from Universitas Indonesia. She then pursued further studies at The Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, where she earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in 2011 and 2015, respectively. During her postgraduate research, she conducted a ground-breaking study on the physiological functions of Ig-Hepta or ADGRF5, a type of G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs), utilizing Ig-Hepta Knock-Out Mice. Her contributions have earned her a prominent position as a faculty member in the Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Pharmacognosy within the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Indonesia. Her research interests mainly focus on understanding the molecular pharmacology mechanisms and biosynthesis of natural products, as well as drug discovery and development, particularly exploring natural product resources. Prior to her current position, she served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Tokyo Institute of Technology before returning to her alma mater, where she now continues to make valuable contributions to the academic community.
