The increasing number of chronic and complex diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and kidney disorders in Indonesia demands a more collaborative and interdisciplinary research approach. Meanwhile, research activities in Internal Medicine still tend to be conducted separately across subspecialties.
To address this challenge, the Multidisciplinary Internal Medicine Research Alliance was established, a cross-disciplinary collaborative platform within the Department of Internal Medicine, FKUI-RSCM, focusing on interdisciplinary research linking metabolic factors, cardiovascular health, and other internal medicine disciplines.
The research conducted covers basic biomedical aspects, molecular diagnostics, and clinical applications to improve early detection, therapy, and prevention of non-communicable diseases, which are a major health burden in Indonesia.
