Founder & Scientific Lead

Prof. Dr. apt. Sriwidodo, M.Si.

Professor, pharmaceutical innovator, and advocate for research translation through pentahelix collaboration.

Prof. Dr. apt. Sriwidodo, M.Si. is a Professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran. Within the LabFarma-UP ecosystem, he helps connect research, raw-material development, formulation, testing, and collaboration so innovation can deliver practical benefit to society.

Research translation

From the Laboratory to Society

For Prof. Sriwidodo, research does not end with scientific publication. Knowledge should be translated into solutions that are safe, quality-led, responsibly developed, and relevant to society and industry. This direction brings together pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical technology, Indonesian natural resources, and measured research translation.

Sacha Inchi

Sacha Inchi as a Future Raw Material

Plant-based Sacha Inchi raw materials continue to be studied for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, supplement, functional-food, and active-delivery applications. Related research is positioned as a foundation for development that still requires scientific evaluation, quality assurance, safety, regulation, and production readiness.
