I am currently an Associate Professor in Oral Medicine Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Gadjah Mada University. I am a dentist graduated from University of Gadjah Mada (1987). My master programmes were completed from Melbourne University (1996) and from Gadjah Mada University (2012). Ph.D. degree was obtained from Gadjah Mada University in 2007. Main focus of research in Master (in Melbourne University) and Ph.D. programme was related with oral carcinogenesis using animal model and herbal medication. My research interest on Gerodontology was commenced  when I was taking my master programme in Gadjah Mada University in 2009 and reflected on my published papers and scientific presentations in some countries. Recently, I have being invited as keynote speakers in several international geriatric conferences/programmes in Indonesia. Research in oral health of elderly in conjuction with systemic health has been conducted since 2015 by recruiting the subject from elderly communities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia with The Gerodontology Research Team of Faculty of Dentistry, University of Gadjah Mada. Several papers have been published either in national or in international journals related with the topic of oral and systemic health in elderly.
