Genetic of autoimmune diseases
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Saleh Ibrahim
In this internship we will focus on genetic of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory skin diseases, such as pemphigoid, pemphigus, lupus and psoriasis aiming at identifying risk genes for these diseases and perform gene-environment interaction studies (e.g. microbiota, nutrition, smoking etc.).
Practical skills:
- Advanced molecular biology techniques
- SNP genotyping
- NGS sequencing
- Bioinformatic
- Microbiota analysis
Qualification:
- understanding the immungenetic of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory skin diseases
- understanding of bioinformatic tools identifying risk genes and gene-environmental interactions
- working with human material
Allocation of credit and grading by:
- Oral presentation and written report
