Hamizah dan para penguji

There were several questions and suggestions to refine Hamizah’s thesis manuscript, as noted by Dr. Sri Sumarsih, M.Si., “Biocompatibility testing of IZ-IS in Hollow Fiber membranes in the future could be conducted as a comparison with IZ-IS in powder form.” Additionally, the thesis defense atmosphere was warm, punctuated by discussions that significantly aided the student in improving the presented thesis. As a requirement for completing her Master’s degree, Hamizah has already published a journal review titled “Dialysis Membrane for Acute Kidney Injury” in the Membranes Journal.
