INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is a country belong to "megadiversity countries" along with Mexico, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Zaire, Madagascar, China, India, Malaysia, and Australia which are believed to contain 70% of the world's species diversity. Indonesia also is a multiethnic society, with more than 1.000 ethnic/subethnic groups. This unique combination makes Indonesia become a country rich in ethnobotany information as well. The utilization of both assets will make a significant contribution to increase the welfare of Indonesian society. Therefore, within this context, Biopharmaca Research Center (BRC) was established. Biopharmaca is defined as plants, animals, mineral, and microbes that have potential properties as drugs, health food, functional food, and nutraceutica, for human, animals, and plants.
BRC is an organization belongs to Institute of Research and Community Services, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB). BRC has devoted its existence as a networking institution and for coordinating research on biopharmaca-related materials. The Center is working on
biopharmaca development, natural resources conservation,
proposing bioprospective policy and regulation. Furthermore, its multidisciplinary expertise have the capability in exploration, conservation, cultivation, extraction, chemical structure analysis, standardization, and efficacy studies of the natural resources.
VISION
To be a leading research center in biopharmaca areas by optimizing added value of natural resources at national and international level.
MISSION
1. To gather, to synergize, and to enhance cooperation and networking
amongst the human resources within units in IPB as well as outside IPB in venturing of the improvement of biopharmaca added values.
2. To develop the frontier science, arts, and technology on the development of patentable biopharmaca products which can support self-sustained nation
3. To improve human resource quality through education, trainings, and
community services
COMPETENCY
An integral research on biopharmaca and nutraceutical, from upstream to
downstream aspects through multidiscipline/ interdisciplinary strategies.
MANDATE OF RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT
Research on indigenous knowledge and technology which is related to the prevention, control disease, and medical treatment for human, animals, and plants
Research on policy for utilization and development indigenous natural resources which have potency for prevention, control, and treatment of diseases in human, animals, plants and for nutraceutical
Research on the development of GACP and GMP of indigenous natural resources as material for medicine and nutraceutical for human, animals and plants
Research on the development of standardization model for biopharmaca products and nutraceutical
Research on social and economic impact of the development of biopharmaca and nutraceutical.
SERVICES
Consultation for research on all aspects of biopharmaca development such as cultivation (conventional and biotechnological), extraction, efficacy assay, etc.
Analysis and isolation of bioactive compounds, chemical analysis, bioassays, pre-clinic tests
(in vitro and in vivo)
Standardization of raw material of biopharmaca for its bioactive content
Manufacturing of standardized medicinal plant extracts.
ATTAINING TARGETS
To explore and to investigate the bioprospecting of natural resources and the development of patentable biopharmaca product derived from indigenous knowledge. To acquire the intellectual property rights from biopharmaca products which are developed based on diseases priority (degenerative diseases, e.g., diabetes mellitus, uric acid disorder)
To obtain Standard Operation Procedures in cultivation and manufacturing biopharmaca products which is nationally and internationally recognized. To obtain standard manual (i.e. SNI, Indonesian National Standard ) for biopharmaca products, and also to obtain map of national biopharmaca potency.
To commercialize the BRC research results through production sharing or product licensing with small scale or large biopharmaca industries.
To formulate the biopharmaca development policy in national level through cooperation with stakeholders.
RESEARCH PRIORITY
Exploration and bioprospecting investigation of natural
resources and the development of patentable
biopharmaca product derived from indigenous
knowledge
Standardization of biopharmaca product and its materials. It involves the investigation of its chemical and biological (efficacy and safety) properties
Research on social and economic aspects in the
development of biopharmaca and conducting
community empowerment program through
demonstration plot and supervision
