Yogyakarta, 2 November 2025 — The Faculty of Pharmacy at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) has once again demonstrated its strength in interdisciplinary scientific collaboration. A team of Pharmacy students led by Luthfiana Febrianti secured Third Place in the Educational Video category at the national IMSCOBI (Islamic Medical Scientific Competition and Collaboration Seminar).
IMSCOBI is a prestigious scientific competition organized by the Spirituality and Student Development Body of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Brawijaya. The event brings students from a wide range of health-related disciplines, including medicine, dentistry, midwifery, and pharmacy, to compete in four categories: scientific essays, literature reviews, public posters, and educational videos.
The UGM Pharmacy team competed in the Educational Video category with their project titled “Halal in Science,” developed under the subtheme Application of Biomolecular Science and Genetic Engineering in Managing Endocrinological Diseases. Through this educational video, the team successfully conveyed complex biomedical issues within an Islamic perspective in a way that is creative, accessible, and easy for the public to understand.
This achievement highlights the ability of UGM Pharmacy students to translate scientific research into innovative educational content that can reach and benefit broader audiences. Their success is expected to inspire other students to take part in scientific competitions and continue bringing pride to Universitas Gadjah Mada and the Faculty of Pharmacy on the national stage.
The accomplishment also reinforces UGM’s contribution to global development goals. By excelling in a competition centered on collaboration and scientific communication, the team directly supports SDG 4: Quality Education, showcasing their capability to apply cutting-edge scientific knowledge. Their innovative educational video on biomolecular science and genetic engineering aligns with SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, which emphasizes research and technological advancement. Moreover, by addressing endocrinological diseases, the project helps disseminate critical health information and contributes to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being through improved public health literacy.
