Safeguarding our Daily Bread from Wheat Rust Diseases (Internship)
The Safeguarding our Daily Bread from Wheat Rust Diseases (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) covers the mechanism of non-cannonical resistance genes and supports their efforts to engineer wheat plants with improved disease resistance.

Characterization of IL11-deficiency in Humans (Internship)
The student of the Characterization of IL11-deficiency in Humans (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) investigates patients with germline homozygous variants in the cyokine IL11.

Defining the Role of CLN6 in Lysosomal Function and Neurodegeneration (Internship)
The Defining the Role of CLN6 in Lysosomal Function and Neurodegeneration (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) will investigate neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 6 (CLN6 disease) by generating a CLN6 knockout cell model and deriving induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patient fibroblasts with homozygous CLN6 mutations.
