Roles and Responsibilities
Yasser is an expert in human immunology and cell biology. He has developed a research portfolio spanning molecular and cellular immunology, stem cells immunomodulation, biomarkers in translational and personalised medicine. Areas of particular interest include innate and adaptive immune responses in cancer, rheumatological disorders and regenerative medicine. Using primary derived cells, the phenotype and function of cells relating to specific diseases and states of inflammation are characterised. Specialist techniques of interest are flow cytometry, RT PCR and NanoString genetic profiling.
