Research
Dr. Abdul Alim’s research explores the intricate crosstalk between the immune system and cancer, with a particular emphasis on the roles of mast cells and T cells in the development and progression of lung metastasis and/or Cancer.

Investigating the role of steroid-producing immune cells in regulating mast cell function...
Cancer and its metastases cause many deaths. Immune cells play a dual role in these processes. They can kill cancer cells, but can also promote metastases.
