drh. Safarina G Malik, M.S, Ph.D.
Malik is a Principal Investigator of the Genome Diversity and Diseases Laboratory at Mochtar Riady Institute of Nanotechnology. Before joining MRIN, she was the Principal Secretary of the Eijkman Institute, as well as the head of the Genome Diversity and Diseases Laboratory and the head of the National Genome Center at the Eijkman Institute. She was the principal investigator for mitochondria and lifestyle diseases research activities. Malik supervises a wide range of projects, including Nutrigenomics/Nutrigenetics, malaria in pregnancy, gut microbes studies, and association study of genetic diversity and diseases. From 2020 to 2021, she also led the Genomic Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 research project at the Eijkman Institute, which had contributed to more than 3,000 submitted whole-genome sequences in GISAD.Malik is actively reviewing research proposals for Risbin Iptekdok and the Indonesian Danone Institute. She also has a long list of experience in reviewing journals, including BMC Research Notes, Cardiovascular Diabetology, and the International Journal of Medicine and Medical Sciences.
