Why We Exist?

Biofilm infections are challenging; they hide behind a protective shield called the extracellular matrix, which shelters microorganisms and increases their resistance to antibiotics and the host immune response. Tackling this complex problem demands persistent research, innovative approaches, and advanced technologies. That’s where IBRCC steps in. As pioneers of biofilm research in Indonesia, we delve into the fundamental science of biofilms formed by bacteria, fungi, and complex microbial communities. We synergize across disciplines to discover biofilm diagnostics and antibiofilm compounds derived from Indonesia’s rich biodiversity.

Biofilm infections resist treatment due to protective matrices. IBRCC leads Indonesia’s research, exploring diagnostics and antibiofilm agents from local biodiversity.

Dive Deeper into
Our Work

At the heart of our biofilm research are two key groups: Biofilm-Associated Infection, dedicated to unraveling the complexities of biofilm-related infections and developing innovative diagnostics and treatments to improve patient care; and Drug Discovery, which harnesses Indonesia’s rich biodiversity to explore natural compounds for novel antibiofilm agents and therapeutics with real-world impact.

But why stop there? We believe in pushing boundaries and plan to expand our research groups, because understanding biofilms requires a multidisciplinary, broad-spectrum approach. When it comes to biofilms, the more brains, the better!

We Build A Living Archive of
Microbial Diversity

Our institution’s biobank houses an expanding collection of pathogens involved in biofilm-related infections. Through our collaboration with the National Research and Innovation Agency, we also gain access to InaCC (Indonesia Culture Collection), a key resource to Indonesia’s rich treasure trove of microbial biodiversity.

Ramp up your research.

These resources provide a strong foundation
for advancing our research into both harmful and beneficial
biofilms across diverse environments.
