[00:01:30] week's episode we got to know a
[00:01:33] little about KST Soekarno,
[00:01:36] which stands for Soekarno Science
[00:01:39] and Technology area, located in Cibinong,
[00:01:43] Bogor Regency, West Java. I've given you
[00:01:46] complete information, right? Who knows, maybe you want to go
[00:01:50] there, either for research or scientific
[00:01:53] innovation purposes, or just
[00:01:56] for a walk with your family because...
[00:02:00] One of the BRIN research centers is not just
[00:02:03] a research facility but also an educational
[00:02:22] on the genomic
[00:02:31] KST Soekarno Cibinong
[00:02:34] learning about was built on an area of 198
[00:02:36] hectares,
[00:02:42] initiated by the First President, Dr. Honoris
[00:02:45] Causa I. Soekarno, in 1961
[00:02:48] with the name
[00:02:50] Life Science
[00:02:52] Center.
[00:02:58] The development of KST Soekarno
[00:03:01] out that the institution is focused on managing biodiversity data,
[00:03:04] from physical to digital specimens.
[00:03:08] Research infrastructure and facilities also complete
[00:03:11] it, such as the genomics
[00:03:15] and bioengineering laboratory,
[00:03:18] integrated bioproduct laboratory,
[00:03:22] biosafety laboratory,
[00:03:25] greenhouse display and Innovation Convention
[00:03:29] Center. High performance computing
[00:03:33] and other supporting facilities,
[00:03:38] all our data becomes genomic data the science and technology area infrastructure managed by BRIN is very complete and
[00:03:42] representative with various research facilities within it.
[00:03:52] in a system that
[00:04:04] KST Soekarno certainly strives to
[00:04:07] provide facilities that can support
[00:04:10] research potential to become superior. First
[00:04:14] is the Genomics Laboratory. The Genomics
[00:04:18] Laboratory is one of the integrated laboratories
[00:04:21] owned by BRIN, where it focuses on
[00:04:25] biotechnology and
[00:05:06] There are several research activities that focus on
[00:05:09] the first one for DNA analysis research activities. So
[00:05:12] we have a PCR machine that
[00:05:16] can be used for DNA analysis, then there is also a lab that
[00:05:19] focuses on protein research and enzyme development
[00:05:23] in Indonesia, so we have it here.
[00:05:26] Then, the most common thing here is the characterization
[00:05:30] tool, so this floor focuses on characterizing samples not
[00:05:33] only from BRIN researchers but also from BRIN
[00:05:37] stakeholders, namely from universities and industry, they
[00:05:41] can be sent here. So one example is a tool
[00:05:44] called AAS, which is used to analyze metals
[00:05:48] from environmental samples, so when we have wastewater samples, we
[00:05:52] can analyze the metal content, for example, lead
[00:05:56] and CO, that can be done here. Then there is also an HPLC
[00:05:59] tool, we are currently conducting activities
[00:06:03] to analyze, for example, the content in flour
[00:06:06] products, we check the beta-carotene, we check the
[00:06:10] nutritional content, we can do that using HPLC. In addition
[00:06:13] to that, we also have a tool called GCMS, which allows
[00:06:17] us to analyze gases related to, for example, ethanol
[00:06:20] and other volatile gases, we can do analysis here.
[00:06:24] The tool behind me is called IRMS or isotope
[00:06:27] ratio spectrometry,
[00:06:30] where with
[00:06:32] this tool we can analyze the carbon
[00:06:36] and nitrogen content in a sample. With
[00:06:40] this tool, we can also measure age, for example,
[00:06:43] bone age can be traced using the
[00:06:47] tool behind me called IRMS.
[00:06:49] This
[00:06:57] BRIN central sequencing lab provides
[00:07:01] sequencing services to generate genomic
[00:07:04] data. So genomic data is
[00:07:07] the DNA sequence,
[00:07:10] and DNA is the blueprint of all living
[00:07:13] things. So this DNA sequence
[00:07:16] or genomic data is needed
[00:07:20] for various research
[00:07:22] purposes. So currently,
[00:07:26] research on basic biodiversity, food
[00:07:29] and agriculture, and health,
[00:07:32] is based
[00:07:35] data produced in this lab.
[00:07:38] For example, for identifying living
[00:07:42] organisms. What type of virus, what type of bacteria,
[00:07:45] this lab has helped
[00:07:48] to conduct COVID-19 surveillance, so
[00:07:52] it can determine the type of virus
[00:07:56] from the COVID variant. We are currently sequencing
[00:07:59] the collection of biological
[00:08:02] resources owned by BRIN, scientific collections,
[00:08:06] so at BRIN we have
[00:08:09] collections.
[00:08:13] located in INACC or Indonesia Culture
[00:08:17] Collection. Why is it necessary to do this? Because we want
[00:08:21] to know and reveal
[00:08:23] or uncover what potential can
[00:08:27] be utilized from Indonesia's genetic
[00:08:30] resources. So if we can get genomic
[00:08:33] data,
[00:08:35] we can know, for example, whether a medicinal
[00:08:38] plant will have certain
[00:08:41] proteins that can be useful as
[00:08:45] raw materials for medicines. In this sequencing lab,
[00:08:50] that is stored in a repository. So
[00:08:54] BRIN also manages a repository,
[00:08:57] which is a database or storage
[00:09:01] that is stored
[00:09:04] is supported by a computer
[00:09:07] system. We call it a national
[00:09:09] scientific repository. So everything
[00:09:13] will be stored there and also in what
[00:09:16] we call the Indonesian Nucleotide
[00:09:20] Archive. So it's
[00:09:24] a repository for sequence
[00:09:27] data of Indonesian
[00:09:30] biodiversity.
[00:09:32] In
[00:09:36] an effort to facilitate pathogen
[00:09:39] research from testing to
[00:09:42] clinical trials, BRIN
[00:09:45] has a biosafety level 2 or
[00:09:49] BSL2 laboratory, BSL3 and
[00:09:52] Animal Biosafety Level 3.
[00:09:55] The BSL2 laboratory is designed to handle
[00:09:59] microorganisms that cause disease in
[00:10:02] humans at various levels, while the
[00:10:05] BSL3 laboratory
[00:10:08] is for handling microorganisms that have the potential
[00:10:11] to infect through inhalation or
[00:10:14] are used to multiply microorganisms such
[00:10:17] as viruses, while ABSL
[00:10:21] is a facility for clinical trials.
[00:10:40] Commemorating 81 years of Indonesian independence,
[00:10:43] we present a series of state events,
[00:10:46] interfaith prayer and national prayers, commencing the
[00:10:50] 81st anniversary of the Republic
[00:10:53] of Indonesia.
[00:11:11] A solemn reflection from the Kalibata Heroes' Cemetery
[00:11:14] in Jakarta, and the climax of the August 17,
[00:11:17] 2026 commemoration, the hoisting and lowering
[00:11:20] of the red and white flag, which is followed
[00:11:24] by the Red and White Flag
[00:11:25] Parade. The proclamation
[00:11:28] and lowering of the red and white
[00:11:31] flag. Dirgahayu, 81st Anniversary of the Republic
[00:11:35] of Indonesia.
[00:13:23] that's not all. The facilities there, when I went
[00:13:27] there, there was something called
[00:13:31] a greenhouse display, which is a glasshouse to house
[00:13:34] a collection of typical Indonesian plants from various islands
[00:13:37] and lakes from all over the archipelago.
[00:13:41] Then there's also something called a raiser,
[00:13:45] which is a research facility for fisheries
[00:13:49] research such as fish farming techniques. Who knows,
[00:13:52] maybe viewers want to start a catfish or pangasius business? You can
[00:13:56] learn there first. Or want to learn about
[00:14:00] wildlife,
[00:14:01] there's
[00:14:04] also KST Soekarno which has
[00:14:07] an Integrated Bioproduct Laboratory
[00:14:11] or ILAB. ILAB
[00:14:14] is the first integrated
[00:14:18] laboratory in Indonesia. What is meant
[00:14:21] by an integrated laboratory is where
[00:14:25] testing service processes begin with
[00:14:28] preparation, formulation,
[00:14:30] characterization, identification and quantification
[00:14:34] of materials, then continued with material
[00:14:37] formulation, so that the material can
[00:14:40] be transformed into a
[00:14:49] bioproduct. The research greenhouse is a facility for BRIN
[00:14:53] researchers, where it consists of a central plant
[00:14:56] laboratory, biosafety level
[00:14:59] greenhouse, aquaculture greenhouse,
[00:15:03] screenhouse, and limited trial plots, as well
[00:15:06] as a mushroom cultivation
[00:15:12] facility. So far, almost 94 services
[00:15:16] can be facilitated in the ILAB laboratory.
[00:15:20] Then, the users of
[00:15:23] this lab include
[00:15:27] universities and also industries,
[00:15:30] both domestic and international.
[00:15:33] The number of students doing final assignments
[00:15:37] or research assistants in ILAB
[00:15:40] reaches almost 130.
[00:15:44] Then, several postdoctoral fellow researchers
[00:15:47] also conduct research in ILAB. We
[00:15:51] have high hopes that all facilities in ILAB
[00:15:54] can be utilized well by academics,
[00:15:57] industry or the general
[00:16:00] public.
[00:16:06] This plant tissue culture laboratory
[00:16:09] is used to produce and
[00:16:12] develop plants using
[00:16:15] a small sample, which is from plant tissue
[00:16:19] originating from stems, leaves, roots that we
[00:16:23] grow outside their natural
[00:16:25] conditions, namely by using a growth
[00:16:28] medium in the laboratory that
[00:16:31] can support the growth of
[00:16:35] these plants. If these plants have already
[00:16:38] grown well and also have the characteristics
[00:16:42] or traits we want, then these plants
[00:16:45] can be moved to the field.
[00:16:48] By using this tissue culture technology,
[00:16:51] we can produce traits
[00:16:54] and characteristics of individuals that are
[00:16:57] consistent with their parents, so this
[00:17:00] technology is widely used to save
[00:17:04] plants that are threatened with extinction or rare plants.
[00:17:08] In addition, by using this technology,
[00:17:11] we can modify the traits of
[00:17:14] a plant according to what we
[00:17:17] want, for example, by
[00:17:20] modifying the plant to be more
[00:17:24] resistant to extreme conditions such as drought,
[00:17:28] flooding, acidic soil, etc.,
[00:17:31] or we can also increase
[00:17:34] the productivity of these plants, such
[00:17:38] as having larger fruit size, and
[00:17:41] we can even increase the nutrition of
[00:17:44] these plants, so this technology is very
[00:17:47] useful if we want to produce
[00:17:51] superior seeds from a plant.
[00:19:06] is focused on... For research, of course, it must be supported
[00:19:10] by comfortable and well-integrated general supporting
[00:19:14] facilities.
[00:19:17] This is also what is conceptualized in KST Soekarno.
[00:19:19] To facilitate important events,
[00:19:23] BRIN KST Soekarno has an Innovation
[00:19:26] Convention Center.
[00:19:27] It
[00:19:31] consists of a meeting hall spanning
[00:19:33] 6
[00:19:38] and 12 meeting rooms that can be used to
[00:19:41] promote research products
[00:19:43] of BRIN.
[00:19:48] Several other public facilities to support research
[00:19:52] have certainly been carefully prepared.
[00:20:08] Our facility is a facility
[00:20:10] that can be used for
[00:20:14] vaccine development, drug development and also
[00:20:17] to identify many biodiversities
[00:20:21] in Indonesia. Our facilities can not only be utilized
[00:20:24] by researchers who are in BRIN, but can also
[00:20:28] be utilized by researchers who are in Indonesia
[00:20:31] and regionally. We have opened facilities
[00:20:35] and our services
[00:20:38] of science services under the
[00:20:42] Deputy for National
[00:20:42] Research and Innovation Infrastructure.
[00:20:49] The sample preparation process
[00:20:52] begins in the preparation
[00:20:55] laboratory, we prepare the sample
[00:20:58] for vitrification so that
[00:21:02] the sample is in a frozen
[00:21:04] state, after that we then process
[00:21:08] it to be clipped
[00:21:11] so that it can be used and viewed under an
[00:21:14] electron microscope. After the sample
[00:21:17] is placed into the electron microscope, we can
[00:21:20] obtain the data through the monitor
[00:21:24] screen in the operating room. After that,
[00:21:27] we take various types of two-dimensional
[00:21:31] images in quite large numbers, and then
[00:21:35] this data is obtained and processed into
[00:21:38] three-dimensional data. This three-dimensional
[00:21:41] data forms the basis for reconstructing
[00:21:45] proteins, for example, to obtain their three-dimensional
[00:21:48] structure. The benefit of the data we obtain
[00:21:51] is to be able to understand the structure
[00:21:55] and function of, for example, the protein we want
[00:21:59] to study. The diversity lab services can be
[00:22:03] viewed on e-layanan
[00:22:05] sains and are open to the
[00:22:10] public. There are about seven collection laboratories
[00:22:14] for animals. Our animal collection
[00:22:18] comes from all
[00:22:20] regions of the
[00:22:22] Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Some animal
[00:22:26] groups include mollusks, crustaceans,
[00:22:29] fish, reptiles, amphibians,
[00:22:33] birds, mammals, and insects.
[00:22:36] All of them are represented in
[00:22:39] the Bogor Zoological
[00:22:41] Museum collection.
[00:22:54] Here I am implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus
[00:22:58] Merdeka program for 6
[00:23:00] months at the National Research
[00:23:04] and Innovation Agency at the Research
[00:23:07] Center for Biosystematics and Evolution,
[00:23:10] Herpetology Research Group. The activities
[00:23:13] carried out here are research
[00:23:16] on herpetofauna in Indonesia.
[00:23:20] Here I gain a lot of experience from
[00:23:22] the great mentors, of course.
[00:23:26] The activities here are quite
[00:23:28] interesting, very interesting, even
[00:23:32] we learn a lot about herpetofauna in
[00:23:35] Indonesia and we can also get
[00:23:38] to know competent people
[00:23:40] in their fields.
[00:24:03] A casual chat presents information and insights
[00:24:06] into community life with various themes, with
[00:24:10] resource persons who discuss from different perspectives
[00:24:13] to open up horizons and inspiration. Jendela

[00:24:51] South Kalimantan,
[00:24:54] a land rich in beauty and
[00:24:57] biodiversity,
[00:25:00] including endemic primates that are almost
[00:25:03] extinct.
[00:25:08] The dense Mangrove Forest, home to the
[00:25:11] proboscis monkey, which
[00:25:13] is increasingly threatened.
[00:25:20] Primates with long noses and reddish-brown
[00:25:23] fur are part of our
[00:25:26] natural heritage. The proboscis monkey
[00:25:30] is an endemic Kalimantan primate whose
[00:25:33] conservation status is currently endangered. Its presence in
[00:25:37] nature serves as a key species indicator that maintains
[00:25:41] the balance of an ecosystem due to its role as a biodiversity
[00:25:44] agent and forest generator. Conserving the proboscis monkey
[00:25:48] through habitat restoration, stop illegal hunting.
[00:25:51] Build a chain of concern together by honoring nature, save the proboscis monkey,
[00:25:55] save human
[00:25:58] civilization. Through mangrove forest restoration,
[00:26:01] we help increase the population
[00:26:04] of the critically endangered proboscis monkey.
[00:26:07] We all have a
[00:26:10] role in protecting them. Don't let the proboscis
[00:26:32] monkey become just
[00:27:19] we should also be proud of the realization of
[00:27:22] KST Soekarno Cibinong, because we now have
[00:27:26] one more botanical
[00:27:27] garden.
[00:27:31] Inside KST Soekarno, there is also
[00:27:35] the Cibinong Botanical Garden, which covers
[00:27:38] 34 hectares
[00:27:41] and was established in 2002
[00:27:44] with the aim of slowing down the
[00:27:47] degradation of plant species
[00:27:50] diversity. KRC has a collection
[00:27:53] of 6,000 plant specimens
[00:27:57] with an ex-situ conservation concept.
[00:28:00] There are seven large island regions,
[00:28:04] namely Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku,
[00:28:07] and Nusa Tenggara, as well as Papua.
[00:28:10] In addition, besides these gardens,
[00:28:13] KRC also has three lakes, namely
[00:28:16] Lake Dora, Lake Dori, and Lake Walini.
[00:28:30] Animalium is a platform
[00:28:33] for implementing
[00:28:37] animal life, which is expected to
[00:28:39] contribute to building ecological intelligence in Indonesia's
[00:28:43] next generation.
