Transformative Research Experience: My Internship at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)

I had the incredible opportunity to complete an internship at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), and it was one of the most enriching and inspiring experiences of my academic journey.

1. Research Work:
I joined the Prof Dr Rueping group under the supervision of Dr Renn, where I worked on the development of nanobody-based LFA for detecting Lyme disease. Access to state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge equipment allowed me to conduct high-level experiments and develop valuable technical skills. KAUST’s collaborative environment and emphasis on innovation provided the perfect setting for impactful research.

2. International Environment:
KAUST is a truly global community, bringing together researchers from diverse backgrounds. Interacting with peers and professors from around the world broadened my perspective.

3. Campus Life and Infrastructure:
The university’s campus is a modern, well-designed hub for both work and leisure. From high-tech labs and libraries to recreational facilities and scenic coastal views, KAUST offers an exceptional quality of life, which made my stay both productive and enjoyable.

Overall, this internship not only strengthened my technical and analytical skills but also motivated me to pursue further research in my field. I am deeply grateful to my supervisor, colleagues, and the KAUST community for their support and for providing such a dynamic and stimulating environment. I highly recommend KAUST to anyone seeking world-class research opportunities in a vibrant, international setting!
