Ibrahim Afolabi Abdulsalam


PhD Fellow

Job description

As a Ph.D. student working on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC),  My key tasks include performing advanced research aimed at better understanding the hallmarks of OSCC with respect to diagnosis and therapy. My duties encompass laboratory experiments,hypothesis testings,  data and statistical analysis, a review of the literature, dissemination of research findings, adaptation and incorporation of new research techniques as well as collaboration with other researchers.

My ultimate goal is to contribute significant insights to the scientific community's comprehension of OSCC, potentially leading to breakthroughs in diagnosis and treatment.

    Research interests

    My research focuses on investigating the prognoostic significance of biologically relevant biomarkers, which are key components of the tumour microenvironment (TME)  and have the potential to influence both tumour growth and patients' prognosis and responce to treatment.
