We are incredibly proud of our biotechnology senior student, Nabil Hazza, who recently completed a prestigious summer internship at Osaka University Graduate School of Science in Japan! Nabil had the amazing opportunity to join Professor Naotada Ishihara’s lab, where he explored the dynamics of mitochondrial fusion and fission. His research internship focused on studying the role of DRP1 protein on the morphology of the mitochondrial nucleoid. This enriching experience reflects the exceptional talent and dedication of our students at Nile University. Keep shining, Nabil!
