BINUS University
Vision: “A World-class university … in continuous
pursuit of innovation and enterprise”

§ To be a World-class university, BINUS University must

develop and grow from a teaching university to
becoming a research university

§ Innovation can be achieved through research activities

Bioinformatics
§ the application of information technology (IT) to
the field of biological sciences
§ the development and advancement of databases,
computational and statistical methods,
algorithms, and theory to solve practical
problems arising from the management and
analysis of biological sciences data

BINUS University Bioinformatics
§ Focus on the development and management
of biomedical databases
§ Emphasis on computational and statistical
analysis of biological sciences data
§ Concentrate on developing and applying
computationally intensive techniques (e.g.,
data mining, statistical analysis, machine
learning algorithms) through its leading edge
and advancement in the IT world
Sources of Research Funding
§ Government supports
§ Private sectors
§ Foundation research
§ National and international institutions
§ Fund-raising
§ Individuals/families
Graduate Students Involvement
§ Research opportunities
§ Data and materials availability for thesis and
dissertation
§ Research paper publications
§ Overseas research collaborations
§ Advance degree opportunities
§ Free exchange of ideas among faculty and
students to foster discovery and innovation in
science
Founding BINUS University Bioinformatics
Research Center
§ Enlist faculties who are interested in
bioinformatics research
§ Work in partnership with medical institutions
such as hospitals and medical schools
§ Collaborate with biotech and pharmaceutical
companies
§ Seek research funding and grants
International Collaborations
§ University of Southern California
School of Medicine ranks among the top 25 U.S. medical schools in total
federal research funding
Contact Person: Prof. Dr. Stanley P. Azen
Director, Biostatistics Division & SCRC

§ City of Hope National Medical Center and Beckman

Research Institute
Named one of "America's Best Hospitals" in cancer and urology by U.S.
News & World
Contact Person: Prof. Dr. Joyce C. Niland
Chair, Division of Information Sciences
National Collaborations

§ RS Dharmais
Short Term Route Map:
2010-2011
§ Current database used for thesis and research result
§ Collaboration with State Hospital for Cancer Treatment,
Dharmais Hospital
§ Collaboration with USC for research activities,
faculty/students exchange, and program/degree
development for Graduate Program in Applied
Biostatistics
Mid Term Route Map:
2012-2014
§ Annual International Seminar/Workshop on
Bioinformatics, Medical and Artificial Intelligent
§ Awards and Grants achievements
§ International publications
§ Consolidated data warehouse from various sources in the
country
§ Collaboration with other medical institutions around the
country
Long Term Route Map:
2015-2020
§ Larger experiment using shared data gathered
§ A system that will ultimately resemble the integrated software
packages for office tools installed on most home computers today, in
which information can be traded seamlessly and cooperatively
analyzed
§ Able to work together effectively to tackle unsolved mysteries, such
as the role of heredity in individuals' different responses to medicines
and the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in
common diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, cancer,
and diabetes
§ Do analysis on the established data warehouse and presumably cross
comparison with existing data and information in the other
collaborating countries (USA, EUROPE, ASIA).
