26 Years of JYI's News, Features, and Careers Articles as Colorful Mutant Flowers
As a volunteer and member of The Data Garden Project – a community encouraging women to create their dataviz project with creative coding – I created a visualization of science writing publications by my former organization using p5.js. The data and code source is available on my Github and feel free to walk down the memory

Sparkling Stars: Short Tales of Southeast Asia's Aspirations - EU-ASEAN Competition
I asked my Southeast Asian friends about their hopes on an EU-ASEAN strategic partnership that relates to their work. I then compiled their responses and displayed them as a star shown on this dataviz as a symbol of hope. This project is also coded with p5.js. I didn’t win this competition, but I had a lot of fun coding the grass so they sway continuously.
The code source is available on my Github.

Metformin inhibits IGF-1R/mTOR/S6K1 in pancreatic cancer cells under hyperglycemic conditions
This is part of a larger project investigating the effect of metformin on different types of cancer cells that I did in 2019 in Okayama University. I used complementary data to submit my abstract to the first JYI Annual Conference in 2021 for undergraduate students. The conference was held remotely and the 10 finalists were required to upload their presentation.
I received judging comments from two professors.

Estrogen receptor is required for metformin-induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells under hyperglycemic conditions
I did a research investigating the off-label use of diabetes drug metformin as an anti-cancer in vitro in 2019 in Okayama University supported by PUTI Grant from Directory of Research and Development, Universitas Indonesia. I did all the lab work for ER-negative breast cancer cells mentored by a PhD candidate in Eiji Matsuura’s laboratory. This project was carried out during summer holiday when I was still an undergraduate student.

Association of urinary sulfated glycosaminoglycan level with kidney function in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
Funded by PUTI Q1 Grant from Directory of Research and Development, Universitas Indonesia, I did a cross-sectional field research in primary healthcare to find a suitable biomarker for early diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in diabetic population as CKD is considered as a silent disease and the majority of people diagnosed with CKD is already in the advanced stage.
This topic was used for my thesis that I successfully defended on July 26, 2021.

Asmafil – Teofilin tablet for long-term control medication of asthma
For Solid Dosage Form Technology class, I led a team of five people throughout the whole semester to complete a project of creating a drug product, with emphasis on pre-formulation studies, manufacturing process, quality control, and package type & size. Fun fact: the imaginative company was named Septia & Kids, Pharm. Co. to honor me as a team leader.

Pharmacy School Rotation
As a prerequisite to get my pharmacy degree, I interned in three different institutions where pharmacists play a key role. First, I interned in a national hospital and did research on Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) of a COPD patient. My next rotation was in the Indonesia FDA Office of Pharmaceutical, Narcotics, Psychotropics, Precursors, and Addictive Substances Safety, Quality, and Export-Import Supervision.
My last rotation was in a community pharmacy where I compiled Drug Adverse Events information to be utilized for telepharmacy services.
My report is available in this link (Bahasa Indonesia only).
bio 💊
Hi!
I’m primarily a pharmacist, but I wear many hats outside of pharmacy practice. I’m currently working in the regulatory affairs field, aiming to help strike a balance between standards and access to medical products, particularly innovation, affordability and information.
In aiding my objective, I do freelance science and technical writing. I don’t have a specific beat, but I’m always on the lookout for studies making strides in medical products development and life cycle. I also strive to showcase community through my stint as a dataviz designer.
