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).
