The Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta has officially sealed a strategic research partnership with the Research Center for Radiation Process Technology (Pusat Riset Teknologi Proses Radiasi - PRTPR) under the Nuclear Energy Research Organization of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). The Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed directly by the Dean of FST UIN Jakarta, Prof. Husni Teja Sukmana, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., and the Head of PRTPR BRIN, Prof. Dr. Irawan Sugoro, M.Si., on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, inside the Dean’s Meeting Room at FST UIN Jakarta. Centered around the theme "Microbial Bioprospecting from Radiation Environments," this milestone partnership aims to systematically isolate and explore microorganisms from areas with high radiation exposure.

Structured over a three-year implementation period, the collaborative roadmap focuses on developing laboratory-scale prototypes for biosorbents and radioprotectants. The rigorous scientific framework will incorporate cutting-edge biomolecular data processing, microorganism characterization, and post-radiation metabolite testing. Beyond core laboratory experiments, the agreement encompasses academic dissemination, joint utilization of research facilities, expert exchange, and collaborative research mentorship for FST UIN Jakarta students. The resulting technological outcomes are highly anticipated to reinforce safety measures for radiation workers and support future national energy and science initiatives.
