New Member Profile: Dr. Abubaker Sidahmed, Transplant Immunologist at London Health Science Centre<\/h4>\n

The CDTRP is delighted to welcome many new members and share information on their research expertise and interests through our New Member Profile series<\/strong>. Please join us this week in welcoming Dr. Abubaker Sidahmed\u00a0<\/strong> from\u00a0 to Theme 4 (Tailor an Optimal Immune System for Each Patient) of the CDTRP!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What are your fields of expertise and interests in research?<\/h5>\n
\n

My main research interests are around transplantation immunology.<\/p>\n

I want to improve the present and to develop additional clinical applicable assays and to look at clinical outcomes based on the interpretation of HLA laboratory testing data. non-HLA antibodies and their role in solid organ transplantation outcomes.<\/p>\n

It is well documented that BK virus infection to renal epithelial cell induce phosphorylation of 3′-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK-1), the protein kinase Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and 70 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase. I believe that will make these cells immortal and might induce cancer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What new areas of interest would you like to develop or with which different disciplines or specialist(s) would you like to collaborate within the CDTRP?<\/h5>\n
\n

I believe that solid organ rejection and graft versus host disease (GVHD) start with innate immunity. I am interested in investigating the roles of innate immunity in solid organ rejection and GVHD.<\/p>\n

A long-term goal is to study the mechanisms of immune tolerance and targeting to develop approaches to induce allo-HLA tolerance in the transplant recipients.<\/p>\n

All these area of research I would not be possible without collaboration within the CDTRP.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>
