Biotechnology, in wider sense, in Indonesia can be said having
meaning both of old biotechnology (such as tempe-fermented
soybean, tape-fermented cassava/glutinous rice) and new
biotechnology (such as protein structure, third generation
biotechnology)

Biotechnology consists of Traditional and Modern
Biotech: Medical, Agro, Environmental, Chemical, and
Food Biotechnology
Third Generation Biotech= Functional Genomics and
Proteomics
Targeted Medicine, Tissue Engineering and Stem cells,
should be the Focus for Asia
BINASIA should become the Information Hub for Biotech
Asia
Governments must stimulate Innovation in R&D through
various Incentives

The Scientific Development of Biotechnology
and Its Industrial Applications
Targeted medicine, Tissue engineering
and Stem cells

Because people have a different genetic make up, the
effect of drugs will also differ. This new branch of
medicine is now called pharmacogenetics, which study
the effect of drugs on genetically different populations. It
is now known that treatment of hypertension, cancers,
and other diseases will result in a negative response in
certain groups of patients, resulting in waste of money as
well as exposing unnecessary adverse reactions to
patients.
TARGETED THERAPY



Targeted therapy addresses the needs of specific patient
populations. Patients want to know whether they are
likely to benefit from a drug, while minimizing their risk of
negative side effects.
Targeted medicine may improve drug efficacy by better
understanding the genetic associations to disease.
Identifying patients most likely respond to a specific drug
will improve patient compliance with a therapy. This is
especially true in patients with oncology therapy, where
the side effect are severe. Herceptin, a drug for breast
cancer patients is the prototype drug.
TISSUE ENGINEERING


Tissue engineering, is also a new field and hold
many promises and potentials for future therapy.
From the internet, the topic of “tissue
engineering” generates a response of 593,000
hits. So, enough literature to search and read.
STEM CELLS




Stem cell or Regenerative Medicine is very much related
with tissue engineering. It is basically a new science which
is developed from embryology and cloning research.
When an oocyte is fertilized by sperm to become a zygote,
at the blastocyst stage, an inner mass is formed, which is
pluripotent, meaning that these cells can differentiate into
all 210 tissue in the body.
Presently, much research is done to direct the development
of these embryonic stem cells, to cardiomyocytes,
dopaminergic nerve cells, beta-cells of Langerhans, and
neurons.
In mice, good results have been achieved to replace
infarcted tissue by new cardiomyocytes, pancreatic cells,
neurons and other tissues.

Strategic Plan of
the Development of Biotechnology in
Indonesia
KBI involves in preparing a concept of
Strategic Plan of the Development of
Biotechnology in Indonesia (“SPDBI”),
from 2002-2004.
This effort was under the coordination of the
Ministry of Research and Technology
Biotechnology applications in three
main fields have been elaborated in
“SPDBI”:



Medicine and human health;
Agriculture, food production, and fisheries;
Industries, environment protection and
remediation
Biotechnology Research Priorities in
the field Medicine and human health
Genetics disorders,
 Infectious diseases,
 Degenerative and malignancy diseases

Biotechnology Research Priorities in
the field Agriculture, and marine
Isolation and identification of abiotic
stress resistance gene(s) markers
 Field tests for efficacy and food safety,
 Development of diagnostic kit for
marine pollutant and pathogens

Biotechnology Research Priorities in
the field of industries, environments
protection and remediation
Development of recombinant vaccine
production
 Development of novel antibiotics from
local microbes
 Environment protection and
bioremediation

The critical success factors for the
development of biotechnology:
Infrastructure development,
 Regulatory/cultural environment,
 Policy development,
 Human resource development,
 Finance and resource mobilization

Considering the limited financial and human resources
Indonesia, therefore, focus of the focus of all
Biotechnology field must be taken
The Government must STIMULATE INNOVATION by
giving TAX INCENTIVES to industries doing R&D
Efforts must be made to Facilitate GovernmentUniversity-Industry cooperation
Applied Research in Universities and Government
institutions should be done in close cooperation with
industries
BINASIA should become the communication hub for
International Cooperation and Technology Transfer

In order to understand better on BINASIA,
IBC –particularly IBC member’s institutionsare encouraged to open the website
http://www.binasia.net/home.asp and to fill
their specific activities accordingly.
IBC periodical meeting should cover report on
the progress of IBC member institutions to
engage with the respective institution(s) from
other BINASIA member countries.
