Usakti’s first patent involving students as inventors to receive the Intellectual Property Incentive.
CONGRATULATIONS!
To the collaborative inventor team from Universitas Trisakti and Universitas Indonesia, consisting of:
- Dr. Erni Erfan, S.Pd., M.Biomed. (Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Trisakti)
- Prof. Dr. Nafrialdi, Ph.D., Sp.PD, Sp.FK (Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia)
as one of two Usakti inventor teams receiving the Impactful Intellectual Property Incentive—under the Granted Patent/Simple Patent scheme—from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology this year (2025) for the invention with patent number IDP000097510.
This invention yields a fraction characterized by a high polymeric color index, amino acids, and monomeric anthocyanins—with the polymeric color diminishing over time—and the resulting fraction strongly supports the proliferation of normal human epithelial cells while being toxic to human tongue cancer cell lines. This invention supports programs for the supply of pharmaceutical raw materials.
Hopefully, securing this incentive will inspire other Usakti inventors to actively participate in the same program in 2026.
Thank you to the inventors for their active contributions in collectively elevating Usakti’s presence at both national and global levels.
