About Me

I'm Benayu H. Priyanto, a former teacher currently seeking for new opportunities.

As a teacher, I've taught and assisted in arranging the curricula for middle school students in Science and Biology in accordance to the IB Middle Years Program (MYP). I also had experience in project management as a Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator, and set the school record for most students receiving their Bronze Award during my term as coordinator. A project I finished as a teacher was to design an educational card game for the students to a great reception.

Academically, I contributed as a member of the Overton research group in order to research potential drug targets in multiple myeloma using synthetic lethal relationships in 2022. In 2017, I was a semifinalist in the i3L National Science Competition for a research in using keratin to reinforce bioplastics.

I regularly write on Substack, and is actively pursuing a Masters in Biology. Let's keep in touch!
