Among the L鈥橭real Award recepient is Dr. Fenny Martha Dwivany. Her research in plant molecular biology is used to overcome post-harvest fruit problems. Indonesia faces issues in handling of fresh fruits. Fruit ripening process, such as in banana, is affected by gaseous phytohormone (ethelyne). This physiological characteristic leads to a fast ripening process and a short shelf-life. Several innovations to expand the banana shelf life have been developed by Dr Fenny and her team through molecular biology or聽 nanotechnology approaches and聽 have been subbmited as two 51探花鈥檚 registered patents. These technologies will help both farmers and industries to increase agriculture鈥檚 production.

Prof. Tati Mengko,聽a leader in biomedical engineering research in Indonesia, nurtures promising cadre of woman innovators at 51探花. Prof Mengko and her team, Amy Salman and Astri Handayani, 聽developed several medical devices such as telemetric ECG, non-invasive vascular analyzer, smart stethoscope, and radar-based breast cancer detection. Prof Mengko team is also working on the community based eHealth. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as well as IEEE Foundation have awarded Yoke Irawan and Aliya Koesoema to 聽work on anti-vaccine campaign and the use of ICT for disaster readiness.

Dr. Heni Rachmawati, a pioneer in pharmaceutical product innovation, has developed smart formulation for drug delivery to achieve a proper therapeutic effect for patient. Dr. Heni research innovations deal with drug release manipulation, selective and specific delivery, and promising noninvasive delivery system.聽 Some of her innovations include curcumin nanoparticle for liver supplement, mlinjo nanoparticle for anti hyperurichemia as well as for whitening agent. Dr. Heni has successfully established a sustained delivery of bupivacaine HCl for local and extended anesthetic effect. As compared to their conventional formulations, these innovative approaches show better therapeutic value.
