Our planet earth is uniquely designed to foster life. How life are mechanically sustained across the diverse living organisms, are the central question in Biochemistry. Life interact within and with each other through chemicals. Those interactions could benefit only one party or both, or simply convey an instruction within thus the whole system survive. In our lab, we thrive to understand these forms of communication within and between life. We simulate this communication using simpler form of life, like bacteria, unicellular fungi and protist, as well as a cnidarian animal Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus.

My name is Febri (yes, after the month) and I studied Biochemistry from IPB University as undergrad then went to Univ. Melbourne in Aussie and Univ. Galway in the Republic of Ireland for my master and PhD respectively. Fresh from my graduation at IPB, I worked with Prof. Linawati Hardjito (Marine Biotech at IPB), which led me to an opportunity to be a trainee in International Leadership and Management Training for Industrial Biotechnology for one year in Germany, held by GIZ (formerly InWent). This training open up more opportunity for me to get Australia Awards at University of Melbourne, Australia. I worked with metabolic pathways of parasitic algae (dinoflagellates) that shed lights to the history of organelles lost during the evolution of these taxonomic group. Two years working with Prof. Ross Waller (now in Cambridge) has open up my eyes on blue sky and fundamental research in Biology. This inspiration guided me to rekindle my interest in DNA methylation which was sparkling during my undergraduate research at IPB under supervision of Dr. Asmini Budiani and Prof. I Made Artika. This re-neo-interest indirectly allow me to get Hardiman Scholarship to work as PhD student with Prof. Uri Frank, at University of Galway, Ireland. I got my PhD in 2020, but pandemic forcing me to stay as a postdoc in Galway till 2023. During these Galway period, I manage to get myself into several research projects thus put my name in the publications that came out off it. My main own-project about DNA methylation on zygotic genome activation of Hydractinia is published in EMBO Journal 2023, few weeks before I decided to go back home to Indonesia and recruited by UMS as a Faculty in Pharmacy.
