Researchers from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), who also collaborated with scientists from other countries, have described 88 new flora and fauna species throughout last year, including a new beetle species named after the coronavirus.
As top-ranking BRIN officials began their work on downsizing the Eijkman Institute, founded in 1888 and named after Dutch physician Christiaan Eijkman who is credited for discovering Beriberi, the research agency has been conducting research to develop the locally-sourced Merah Putih vaccine, one of the candidates for the government’s booster shot rollout. Work on the vaccine is expected to wrap up in late January.
