Since its inception in 1960 until 1970, the pioneer lecturers in the Department of Biology, FMIPA UI were lecturers with a scientific background in Zoology. In the 1971-1979 period, lecturers with a scientific background in Botany began to strengthen the implementation of education in the Biology Department, FMIPA UI. Through a meeting on March 24 1977, the Biology Department began to introduce the term Laboratory as a basis for grouping lecturers tasked with supporting the implementation of teaching and research. The laboratories that existed at that time were the Taxonomy Laboratory, Physiology Laboratory, Anatomy, Histology and Embryology Laboratory, Ecology Laboratory, and Microbiology Laboratory. As a consequence of the results of this meeting, starting in 1980 the Biology Department began to have lecturers with a scientific background in Microbiology. This scientific background became known as the Science Field Group (KBI) in the early 2015s. Since UI moved to the Depok campus in 1987, the Laboratory, which is a forum for grouping lecturers at the Department of Biology, FMIPA UI, has developed into 7 laboratories, namely: Taxonomy Laboratory, Physiology Laboratory, Developmental Biology Laboratory, Genetics Laboratory, Ecology Laboratory, Microbiology Laboratory, and Marine Laboratory.
