Dr. Amin received his PhD in relation to inflammatory cells and remodeling in respiratory disease (in patients with allergic asthma and rhinitis) from the Faculty of Medicine (Medical Science) at Uppsala University/Academic Hospital University, Sweden in 2000. Dissertation Title: The Relationship between inflammation and Structural changes in the Airways of the lower and upper Respiratory tract: Studies in patients with asthma, Sjogren's syndrome, rhinitis and children with otitis media with effusion. http://uu.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2:165222&rvn=2
Dr Amin cooperated with other authors and published many articles about the role of inflammatory cells in patients with allergic asthma, rhinitis, and middle ear during his investigation carrier at Uppsala University, Sweden.

The primary focus of the laboratory program is the inflammatory cells (leukocyte) and mast cells whose role in innate immunity remains a subject of controversy. Among the mediators secreted by activated inflammatory cells. He used immunology and immune-histopathology methods for inflammatory cell expressing on connective tissue, blood cells, sputum, BAL in different patients with respiratory virus pathogens.
