Biography

Dr Adrian Selim is a clinical and laboratory haematologist at Icon Cancer Centre Revesby, with extensive expertise in malignant haematology. In 2009 Dr Selim completed his Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) at Bond University and subsequently undertook haematology training in Sydney’s Eastern hospital network. He completed a bone marrow transplant fellowship at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, United Kingdom and in 2019 became the inaugural cell therapies fellow at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. During this fellowship he gained extensive experience in novel immunotherapies, particularly chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), as well as a strong clinical research foundation.

Dr Selim is a strong advocate for cell therapy and clinical research, and has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications. He is a fellow of both the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) and the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (FRCPA). Outside of Icon, Dr Selim has worked as a haematologist at Cairns Hospital, Liverpool Hospital and St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney. His clinical experience covers a wide range of malignant and non-malignant blood disorders including acute and chronic leukaemias, lymphoma, myeloma, myeloproliferative disorders and myelodysplastic syndromes.
