Yuana Nurulita’s research will focus on “Discovering New Antibiotics in Fungi isolated from Indonesian Peat Swamp Soils.” She believes that research at Oregon State University in the United States will strengthen her research since that institution is a leading research university and a professor there Dr. Taifo Mahmud, is very interested in her work.
She is a lecturer in chemistry at the University of Riau, Pekanbaru. She earned her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Bogor Institute of Agriculture, a master’s degree in biology from Bandung Institute of Technology, and a PhD in biotechnology at RMIT University, Australia.
