Academic Profile

Dr. Amin received his PhD in inflammatory cells and remodelling 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's research journey has been truly international. He has collaborated with other authors and published numerous articles on the role of inflammatory cells in patients with allergic asthma, rhinitis, and the middle ear. His investigative career began at Uppsala University, Sweden, and he further honed his skills as a researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland, USA for three years. In 2010, he brought his wealth of experience to the College of Medicine at Sulaimani University, Sulaimani, Iraqi Kurdistan.

Dr. Amin's laboratory program has a clear focus on inflammatory cells (leukocytes) and mast cells, whose role in innate immunity is a subject of ongoing debate. He has used a range of methods, including immunology and immune-histopathology, to study the expression of inflammatory cells on connective tissue, blood cells, sputum, and BAL in patients with respiratory virus pathogens.

Research Interests

1. Inflammatory cells and Remodeling Respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases and other organs.

2. Genetic disorders of mast-cell homeostasis and activation in different human body organs.

3. This information can be applied to diagnose and treat asthma and other immunologic diseases.

4. The role of TLR-2, TLR4 in respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders.
