Jurusan Biologi – Info Program Studi

Jurusan Biologi merupakan cabang dari Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam yang mempelajari makhluk hidup dan hubungannya dengan lingkungannya, mulai dari mikroorganisme terkecil sampai hewan terbesar, termasuk struktur, fungsi, pertumbuhan, evolusi, persebaran, dan taksonominya, tidak hanya itu, jurusan biologi juga akan mempelajari kesehatan manusia dan hewan. Ilmu biologi modern sangat luas hingga dibagi menjadi berbagai macam cabang dan subdisiplin yang didefinisikan berdasarkan skala dan jenis organisme yang dipelajari, serta metode yang digunakan untuk mempelajarinya. Berikut beberapa di antaranya:

  • Biokimia, yaitu berkenaan dengan kimia kehidupan
  • Biologi molekuler, yaitu berkenaan dengan interaksi antar molekul biologis
  • Botani, yaitu berkenaan dengan biologi tumbuhan seluler dan meneliti satuan dasar setiap kehidupan sel
  • Fisiologi, yaitu berkenaan dengan fungsi fisik, kimia jaringan organ, dan sistem organ suatu organisme
  • Biologi evolusioner, yaitu berkenaan dengan proses yang menghasilkan keanekaragaman hayati
  • Ekologi, yaitu berkaitan dengan interaksi antara organisme dengan lingkungannya.

Mempelajari Ilmu Biologi tentunya sangat menarik dan bermanfaat, karena Biologi mengajak kita memahami banyak hal tentang mahluk hidup hingga ke seluk beluknya, mulai dari unit terkecil alias sel hingga ke berbagai ragam spesies yang ada. Bagi anda yang menyukai hewan dan tumbuhan juga kegiatan outdoor, jurusan ini sangat sesuai. Anda akan banyak meneliti perkembangan hewan dan tumbuhan secara langsung dan melakukan banyak kegiatan menarik di laboratorium. Kini jurusan biologi kian berkembang pesat dan keberadaannya mutlak dibutuhkan dalam perkembangan teknologi, sejak berbagai penemuan sebelumnya seperti genetika, bioteknologi, mikrobiologi, dan obat-obatan herbal. Ditambah lagi isu-isu mengenai “pemanasan global” mulai menyentuh bidang ekologi dan konservasi alam.

Berkenalan dengan Jurusan Biologi atau Bioteknologi UPH

Jurusan Bioteknologi adalah teknologi yang memanfaatkan materi genetik, mikroorganisme, tanaman atau hewan dengan memodifikasi proses selulernya atau untuk menghasilkan produk dan/atau proses yang bermanfaat. Sebagai contohnya adalah produksi insulin rekombinan menggunakan mikroorganisme untuk penderita diabetes, tanaman transgenik yang dikembangkan supaya tahan terhadap hama, penyakit, lingkungan ekstrim tertentu atau metode diagnostik untuk penyakit tertentu, seperti SARS-CoV-2 yang sedang menjadi pandemi hingga awal tahun 2022 ini.

Perkembangan global Bioteknologi dan bisnis yang terkait sangat menjanjikan, dan telah berkontribusi untuk kesejahteraan manusia khususnya di bidang kesehatan dan industri. Jika dikaitkan dengan kondisi pandemi Covid-19 saat ini, Bioteknologi memberikan kontribusinya yang sangat besar, seperti dalam proses diagnosa kasus positif Covid-19, pengembangan vaksin, dan juga obat-obatan. Kesempatan yang besar ini masih sangat memungkinkan untuk dimanfaatkan di Indonesia, karena tenaga terampil yang tersedia di bidang Bioteknologi masih tergolong sedikit. Untuk dapat memberikan dampak yang lebih besar kepada banyak orang dan menangkap peluang dalam persaingan global di masa sekarang maupun mendatang, maka tenaga terampil dan ahli Bioteknologi sangat diperlukan.

Kurikulum Jurusan Biologi atau Bioteknologi dirancang untuk melatih mahasiswa berkemampuan belajar mandiri, berpikir kritis, dan memiliki soft skills serta mampu memecahkan masalah di bidang Bioteknologi. Kurikulum ditekankan pada integrasi antara teori dan praktek. Pada tahun I dan II, mahasiswa akan belajar dasar dasar Biologi, Biokimia dan Biologi Molekuler. Pada tahun ke III mahasiswa akan belajar aplikasi Bioteknologi berdasarkan pilihan untuk menunjang tugas akhir. Sedangkan pada tahun ke IV, mahasiswa akan mempelajari ilmu-ilmu penunjang baik melalui proyek mandiri, kerja praktek ataupun program kampus merdeka dan menyelesaikan tugas akhir.

Dengan adanya laboratorium biologi dasar dan biologi lanjutan, penelitian di Jurusan Biologi UPH berfokus pada bidang medis dan industri. Beberapa penelitian dalam bidang medis antara lain mengenai agen fibrinolitik yang diperoleh dari mikroorganisme ataupun tanaman, karakterisasi bakteri asam laktat atau bakteri probiotik lainnya, dan senyawa antimikroba. Penelitian lainnya terkait bidang industri/lingkungan seperti dekolorisasi senyawa pewarna tekstil menggunakan mikroorganisme.

Jurusan Biologi UPH membekali mahasiswa dengan teori ilmiah yang kuat dan penerapan teknologi yang praktis di bidang ini. Biologi adalah bidang multidisipliner yang terus berkembang dan menyentuh berbagai aspek kehidupan masa kini. Lulusan kami akan siap berkontribusi serta menghasilkan berbagai ide dan produk inovatif dalam berbagai sektor, termasuk dalam sektor kesehatan, industri, dan lingkungan.

info fakultas

Biology.

Biology is a science that is very applicable in the present and in the future, especially in the branch of biotechnology. Biotechnology is technology that utilizes genetic material, microorganisms, plants or animals, to produce useful products and/or processes. An example is the production of recombinant insulin using microorganisms for diabetics, transgenic plants developed to be resistant to pests, diseases and extreme weather, even detection methods, developing vaccines and treatments for certain diseases, such as SARS-CoV-2.

Why Biotechnology?.

Because of its important role, the development of science, technology, and business related to Biotechnology is very promising and has contributed to human welfare, especially in the health and industrial fields. This great opportunity is still very possible to be utilized in Indonesia because the skilled workforce available in the field of Biotechnology is still relatively small. To be able to have a greater impact on many people and seize opportunities in a global competition in the present and in the future, skilled workers and Biotechnology experts are needed.

What Will I Study.

You will learn soft skills that support you in solving problems in the field of biotechnology, such as how to learn independently, think critically and solve problems. Through these abilities, you will integrate theory and practice in various fields of biotechnology, from basic to advanced.

In the early days of lectures, you will learn the basics of Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Furthermore, these basics will be applied in various fields of Biotechnology according to the choice to support the final project.

Finally, you will learn supporting competencies through independent projects, practical work or independent campus programs and complete your final project.

Biotechnology Research Focus.

With basic biology and advanced biology laboratories, research at UPH Biology focuses on the medical and industrial fields. Several studies in the medical field, among others, regarding fibrinolytic agents obtained from microorganisms or plants, the characterization of lactic acid bacteria or other probiotic bacteria, and antimicrobial compounds. Other research related to industrial/environmental fields such as the decolorization of textile dye compounds using microorganisms.

It All Begins Here.

  • Bioteknologi itu ilmu baru yang menarik dan terus berkembang, sehingga peluang kariernya pun terbuka lebar.
