Team Member
| Dr. Ratna Yuniati, M.Si. |
Expertise in plant ecophysiology and ethnobiology, with a strong research focus on the physiological responses of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as the influence of environmental and genetic factors on the expression of functional metabolites. Her interdisciplinary research explores the intersection of plant-environment interactions and traditional ecological knowledge, particularly in the context of local plant use, conservation, and sustainability.
Dr. Windri Handayani, M.Si.
Expertise in plant physiology, bionanotechnology, and bioprospecting, with a focus on exploring bioactive metabolites from plants and their responses to environmental factors. Through an interdisciplinary approach, she develops plant-based nanomaterials and investigates their applications in various sectors, including health (e.g., as antimicrobial agents and in toxicity studies), agriculture (e.g., as natural growth enhancers, nanofertilizers, and nanopesticides), and environmental sustainability (e.g., as eco-friendly solutions for pollution control and resource management).
Niarsi Merry Hemelda, Ph.D.
Expertise in plant–microbe interactions, plant diversity, metabolomics, and molecular physiology. Her research also focuses on the applied aspects of these fields, including how plant-associated microbes and metabolite profiles contribute to plant health, resilience, and productivity. Through an integrative approach, she explores the molecular and ecological dynamics that underpin plant-microbe relationships and their potential applications in sustainable agriculture and environmental management
Tety Maryenti, Ph.D.
Expertise in plant development through in vitro fertilization systems, with a strong focus on chromosomal structure and behavior, including the use of Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) to study genome organization and dynamics. Her research also encompasses molecular plant breeding and crop improvement, utilizing plant bioinformatics to analyze genomic data and support breeding strategies. To broaden the impact and interdisciplinary relevance of her work, she is actively exploring plant metabolomics to understand the biochemical and physiological effects of genetic and developmental modifications in plants.
DAgSc. Dra. Upi Chairun Nisa, MAgSc.
Expertise in male reproductive physiology, with a research focus on the potential of natural products to enhance or inhibit male reproductive function, particularly in relation to sperm quality. Her work primarily involves in vivo studies using mice to assess physiological impacts at multiple levels. Additionally, she utilizes both in vivo and in vitro assays as essential tools to evaluate the effects of natural compounds and to explore the underlying biological mechanisms involved.
Dr. Oriza Savitri Ariantie, M.Si.
Expertise in semen cryoconservation using both chemical and natural products for both ruminant animals and fish, with a strong focus on the development of natural product-based semen diluents. Her research explores innovative formulations for both liquid and frozen semen diluents, aiming to enhance sperm viability and preservation across a wide range of animal species. The work supports advancements in reproductive biotechnology and sustainable animal breeding programs
